Abstract
From a comprehensive, community health-needs assessment based on the Neuman Systems Model (Neuman, 1995), cardiovascular disease was identified as the priority health concern in one quadrant of a small Midwestern city. The Plan, Do, Check, Act program planning model (Dees&Garcia, 1995) was the basis for the planning, implementation, and evaluation of a mini cardiovascular health fair held at 3 churches. Congruence of the program planning model with the roles of the clinical specialist in community health nursing is discussed, followed by a discussion of the health fair goals and objectives, implementation, and formative and summative evaluations.
