Parish Nursing

The Parish Nurse ministry objectives are to encourage and support the people of our congregation to optimize their health as an acknowledgment of Christian responsibility to be stewards of one’s being. The ministry emphasizes holistic wellness, the harmony of mind, body, and spirit. The Parish Nurse serves as an educator, a resource, an advocate, a consultant, and a facilitator.
