What is a Parish Nurse?

A parish nurse is a registered nurse who has taken special training in how to link faith and health.  Parish Nurses do not do "hands on" care like a nurse in a doctor's office, they help people deal with their health issues and concerns, and help people find resources for good health.

What does a Parish Nurse do?

• Provides education and information on health options and services
• Helps people understand good health and how to prevent illness and disease
• Coordinates volunteers who can help if there is a health problem at Frist Pres or in the community
• Helps people understand the connection between faith and health
• Helps develop support groups (Caregivers group, Diabetes support group, etc.)
