🩺 When Islanders struggling with alpha-gal allergy needed answers—and a place to belong—our Public Health Nurse Amelia Hambrecht was there to help build it.

“Many are looking for a community to kind of talk to, and discuss how they have to deal with [the allergy].”

—Amelia Hambrecht, Public Health Nurse

Being a PHN on Martha’s Vineyard means more than clinical care. It’s about creating spaces where neighbors feel heard, supported, and stronger together.

Island Health Care is seeking a passionate and community-driven Public Health Nurse (PHN) to help promote health, prevent disease, and advocate for health access for all across Martha’s Vineyard.

🏘️ Last summer, our Public Health Nurse didn’t wait in a clinic—she went out to find the people who needed care most.

“I am able to see people that really need services that I wouldn’t see any other place at the moment because the winter shelter is closed.”

— Amelia Hambrecht, former Public Health Nurse, Island Health Care

From ensuring medication gets taken to addressing life-threatening issues in real time, our PHNs help break the cycle of homelessness by meeting people exactly where they are.

💬 Sometimes a simple blood pressure check can open the door to life-changing support.

“My best conversations are when people have an aha moment or find out they can change something they didn’t know they could change.”

— Lila Fischer, former Public Health Nurse, Island Health Care

Our PHNs do more than check vitals—they spark hope, build trust, and guide Islanders toward healthier futures. They’re also not confined to the clinic. Their “practice setting” may be a food pantry, or a library, or a town Council on Aging. PHNs reach Islanders where they are—out in the community.

If you’re a nurse who thrives on personal connection and community impact, we’d love to meet you.
