The coordinating agency records contain materials related to NEDH SON’s official collaboration with other greater Boston-area and Massachusetts hospitals, clinics, dispensaries, nursing homes, professional health education programs, city and state health departments and boards, colleges, and universities. NEDH SON’s partnerships with these agencies allowed nursing students to gain practical, clinical experience in a variety of nursing specialties, including obstetrics and mental health, as well as take more general college courses in the sciences than were offered by the School of Nursing. Materials include contracts, program proposals, a small number of student records, and correspondence between NEDH SON and various coordinating agencies. Records relating to the NEDH SON's closure are also included in this series. Some folders in this subseries are closed for privacy reasons.
