Public Health Nursing

At the Berrien County Health Department in Niles, MI, our Public Health Nursing team is dedicated to safeguarding the health of our community through essential services in disease control and preventive care. We specialize in managing both chronic and communicable diseases, offering vital immunizations, flu clinics, and tuberculosis screenings. Our compassionate nurses provide home visits to individuals and families, ensuring access to education, health referrals, and coordination of various health-related services, including support for communicable diseases, lead poisoning, parenting, and nutrition education. We believe that healthcare should be accessible to everyone; therefore, we accept most major insurance plans, Medicaid, and Medicare, and implement a sliding fee scale for vaccines and tests, ensuring that no one is turned away for an inability to pay. Our mission is to empower our community with the resources they need to achieve optimal health.
