The LIGHT Model
 

Marcia Andersen

PhD, RN, FAAN, CS
 


The LIGHT Model is a Model of The Art of Nursing based on Martha Rogers' Nursing Science.
The Well-Being Institute is one of two Nursing companies in a Nursing Care Delivery System. The second company is the Personalized Nursing LIGHT House Inc.
The LIGHT House is a unique substance abuse program designed as a comprehensive approach to addressing substance abuse and related issues.
Well Being Institute, Inc. was incorporated in 1994 by Marcia Andersen and Geoffrey A.D. Smereck, to serve as a non-profit research and development corporation to test models of nursing service delivery which use the Personalized Nursing LIGHT Model of nursing care. It was incorporated as a non profit company to serve as a successor to its historical predecessor, Personalized Nursing Corporation, P.C. which was founded in 1983, by Marcia Andersen.
