About Community Nursing Services …
Community Nursing Services (CNS) was established in
1929, to provide nursing care for sick people in their
homes as an alternative to hospitalization. CNS began as
an voluntary, non-profit agency, when the existing

Private Duty Registry were combined. In 1930, Salt Lake
Community Nursing Services became a participating agency
of the Community Chest, later to be known as United Way.
