The role of the Parish Nurse:

• Health Educator
• Health Counselor – The Parish Nurse serves as a source for reliable health information and, as necessary, can make home/hospital/nursing home visits
• Referral Source – The Parish Nurse helps people connect with community support groups, resources, and services
• Facilitator – The Parish Nurse recruits and coordinates volunteers and support groups within the parish and local community

The majority of staff work 20 hours a week on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Anticipate a 24-48 hour response time.

There are many other churches that have a Parish Nurse Ministry. Call the church in your area to see if the service is available.
