Abstract
To understand how the events of the 1996 formation of a school-based health center (SBHC) both illustrate the concept of civic engagement and embody historic aspects of public health nursing practice. Case study design. Interviews, documents, epidemiologic records, and field observations. The three themes discovered were collaboration to achieve public good, equity and social justice, creation of a long-term partnership, and demonstration of leadership using grassroots advocacy. The SBHC case serves as a contemporary example of public health nurses' leadership in the current practice arena. The experience of nurse leadership evokes the historic mission and practice of public health nursing.
