The College of Nursing and Health Hosts a Community Forum to Share Findings with the Community Behind Wat Matchantikaram

On October 20, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM, the College of Nursing and Health at Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University—represented by Assistant Professor Wiphakorn Sonsanam and nursing students—collaborated with Public Health Service Center 19 (Wongsawang) to hold a community forum for the residents living behind Wat Matchantikaram. This initiative was part of the Community Health Nursing Practicum course.

The forum served as a platform to share health-related data and insights gathered from a community assessment with local residents. It provided an opportunity for community members to exchange ideas, reflect on health-related challenges and needs, and collectively prioritize these issues. The information gathered will be used to plan and develop solutions tailored to the specific context and requirements of the local population.

Furthermore, this forum facilitated experiential learning for nursing students, allowing them to apply their knowledge of community health nursing, practice collaborating with the public and health networks, and foster engagement between the academic institution, public health service providers, and the community. Ultimately, this collaborative effort aims to promote well-being and address community challenges in an appropriate and sustainable manner.
