Our History The School of Nursing was founded in 1925 to address the need for
nursing education at the then new University of Rochester Medical
Center. Over sixty years later, the school established the Community
Nursing Center, a nursing faculty practice that targeted specific
community health needs and developed programs and services to meet
them.
In 2005, the Community Nursing Center became
the Center for Nursing Entrepreneurship. By the mid-1990’s, the idea of a faculty
practice moved from not just providing health interventions in the
community, but being self-sustaining.
Health Checkpoint evolved as a vehicle to bring together the various
practice initiatives of the Center for Nursing Entrepreneurship in
a business, serving small to medium companies and other organizations.
