Acknowledgments
Community/Public Health Nursing: Promoting the Health of Populations could not have been written
without sharing the experiences, thoughtful critique, and support of many people: individuals,
families, groups, and communities. We give special thanks to everyone who made significant
contributions to this book.
We are indebted to our contributing authors whose inspiration, untiring hours of work, and
persistence have continued to build a new era of community health nursing practice with a focus on
the population level. We thank the community health nursing faculty and students who welcomed
the previous editions of the text and responded to our inquiries with comments and suggestions for
the seventh edition. These people have challenged us to stretch, adapt, and continue to learn
throughout our years of work. We also thank our colleagues in our respective work settings for
their understanding and support during the writing and editing of this edition.
Finally, an enormous “thank you” to John Tomedi of Spring Hollow Press, Elsevier editors Ellen
Wurm-Cutter and Jamie Blum, and project manager Rachel E. McMullen. Their energy, enthusiasm,
encouragement, direction, and patience were essential to this project.
