Betty Community Care Connection
B - Being E - Empowered T - Throughout T - The Y - Years YWCA Nurse Betty’s Community Care Connection (NBCCC). NBCCC is an outreach program dedicated to promoting health, wellness and safety, thereby preserving independence, self sufficiency and improving quality of life for all members of the community, but more specifically for seniors. Betty Morris, RN has over 37 years of experience as a Registered Nurse providing services to the community with special focus on women, children and seniors. She has an extensive background in case management and is an expert in assessment of needs, planned development/ implementation and resources.
Betty Morris, RN YWCA Nurse Betty’s Community Care Connection began as "Betty’s Closet" in the fall of 1993, at Detroit Riverview Hospital (Detroit Eastside) which was a part of the Detroit Macomb Hospital Corporation, later purchased by St. John Health System. Betty Morris, RN, Director of Discharge Planning, Social Work, Pastoral Care, Islamic Health, Senior Services and Parish Nursing at St. John Detroit Riverview Hospital, developed the community outreach program, resources and a charitable community closet.
The continued efforts to service the needs of this impoverish area, the community outreach had to extend beyond the walls of St. John Detroit Riverview Hospital. The outreach support continued by providing health screens, education, food, clothing and transportation and other resources to the community with a special focus on women, children and seniors (ranging in age from 50 and older). When Detroit Riverview Hospital closed on June 30, 2007, Betty’s Closet continued its community outreach and services from her car. In the months that followed, NBCCC has broadened its service area.
