The "mission" of parish nursing is the intentional integration of the practice of faith with the practice of nursing, so that people can achieve wholeness in, with, and through the community of faith in which parish nurses serve.
What the Parish Nurse does:
The Parish Nurse is a licensed, registered/practical nurse who interacts holistically (mind, body & spirit) with members of the congregation and the community. They provide health information on pertinent health topics; assess physical, emotional, and spiritual needs; collaborate with the clergy staff in referring individuals to community resources; and coordinates blood pressure and other group health screenings.
The parish nurses meet each month. For further information, send an e-mail by clicking here, or call the Parish Office at, 734-847-2805.
