The Block Nurse Program addresses the need to contain health care costs, prevent disability resulting from chronic illness, and promote the health of the elderly population. It provides community-based care and focuses on disease prevention and decreased use of institutional care. Because the block nurse model is neighborhood based, the program is decentralized and geographically specific. These characteristics, when juxtaposed with the often depersonalized and fragmented megacorporate health maintenance organizations and preferred provider organizations, have great public appeal. Block nursing allows for the individualized care that many fear will be lost in the current corporate organization of our health care system
