About Nurses & Neighbors

 Our non-profit group was founded in 2022 by 7 nurses in one neighborhood. The founders are licensed or retired volunteer nurses who actually live next door to each other. We also started networking on the local platform “Nextdoor”. It eventually evolved to a group of nurses who wanted to help improve the health and wellness of their neighbors and to support nurses in the local surrounding communities. 

In July 2022, we incorporated our informal nursing group in Delaware and called ourselves Nurse Nextdoor to reflect our history and professional identity. Our group works with the homeless, volunteers in vaccination clinics, presents health information to community groups of all ages, and serves as volunteer nurses in rehabilitation center. We don’t accept payment for our work. We rely on donations, grants, our own experiences, and the reputation of the nursing profession as the most trusted professionals for 21 consecutive years.  

Today, our mission is the same and we remain focused on our work as a 501 C (3) non-profit recognized by the IRS. However, our eco-system has expanded to include nurses and neighbors. In fact, the support of our neighbors for our nurse-led projects has play an important role in our success.We will be changing our name soon. You can always follow us with the hastag #NursesNeighbors.

  We are a 501 C(3) non-profit neighborhood nursing group with members from different places with different experiences. We use our collective nursing experience to help improve health and wellness of our neighborhoods and provide support for nurses in our community through nurse-led projects.
