Parish Nursing
Parish nursing is an idea born out of the understanding of the healing ministry of the church and the need to return to health care that focuses on the whole person to emphasize wellness, disease prevention, and health promotion. Sometimes called the Minister of Health, a parish nurse is a registered nurse with additional training who serves members of the congregation and often people in the community as well. For additional information about Parish Nursing, go to Presbyterian Health, Education, and Welfare Association
A self-reported database of parish nurses within the boundaries of the Synod of Lakes and Prairies was recently established. If you are a parish nurse and would like a copy of this database or if you would like to be added to the database, you can contact Marcia Heyser at mbheyser1@charter.net. Heyser spearheaded the effort to create the database and is managing database updates.
