About Us
Vision
The philosophy of the Community Service Unit (CSU) stems from the philosophy of the University as a whole, and the College of Nursing-Jeddah (CON-J) in particular. It involves strengthening the role of the CSU in creating a stimulating environment for preparation and delivery of health awareness programs as well as constant interaction with all segments of the society, especially disadvantaged and undeserved groups, in order to raise the level of health awareness among population.
Mission
The CSU strengthens the interaction and relationship between CON-J and all segments of the community for effective contribution to creating a health-educated community. The CSU will facilitate the dissemination of knowledge and health awareness among populations, using scientific methods and with support of health personnel who are expert in providing health services and awareness for community groups.
