CI Nursing students transform dilapidated trailer into health center
|
A trailer headed for the junk pile was transformed into a community health center that will open to the public on Saturday, March 7, thanks to muscle, imagination, and a little seed money from a CSU Channel Islands (CI) allocation.
The project was a collaboration between about 50 CI nursing students and Assistant Professor of Nursing LaSonya Davis, DNP, and the B.A. Huggins Outreach and Worship Center in Oxnard.
Davis had always wanted to create a health center for the working poor and homeless, and so did the minister of the church she attends, St. Paul Baptist Church in Oxnard.
St. Paul minister Broderick Huggins had grown up on the south side of Stockton to a single mother.
"We weren't poor, we were po'!" Huggins said.
Although she had little for herself and her children, Huggins' mother, Frances, worked as a nurse's aide for those less fortunate.
In 2014, Huggins purchased a building at 840 South G Street in Oxnard so he could set up an annex to minister to the working poor and homeless in the area. The property came with a weary-looking trailer riddled with dry rot.
"I said 'This is an eyesore, I'm going to have it hauled away,'" Huggins said. "And LaSonya said 'mobile health clinic!'" read more

Network to Build Business Connections
The fastest way that you can expand your network is to connect with someone else's network. In addition to expanding your own network, you can benefit others by connecting your network to theirs. In other words, it isn't just who you know, it is who wants to know you, and who wants to know the people you know.
At the completion of this module, participants will be able to:
- Choose the most appropriate groups to develop contacts
