spiritual well-being beginning with our Physical

surroundings, we become energized and equipped to
nurture our relationships with our family, friends,
congregations and community!
That You May Be Well
Parish nurses
intend
to be a knowledgeable caring presence to you in
your health/faith life. Whether this is in your
home, at church, at the coffee shop or on the
phone. If the parish nurse doesn’t know the
answer to your question directly, she generally
knows who will know and can give you that
information.
Confidentiality
All communications and
conversations between the Parish Nurse and members will
be treated in a confidential manner consistent with
standards of nursing and pastoral care. No information
will be divulged to staff, congregation, family, or
other health care professionals without the express
consent of the member.
One of the 6 roles of the parish nurse identified by
the American Nurses Association is that of health
advocate. As a health advocate the parish nurse…
-
can help individuals develop
their “List of questions” for their
physician or multiple physicians/caregivers.
-
can assist a member in
knowing what paperwork is needed in
preparing a Medical Durable Power of
Attorney, and/or preparing Last Wishes—the
personalized planning of one’s own funeral.
-
can help you find what Home
Care or Palliative Care or Hospice Care is
associated with your doctors’ clinic.
-
For the sandwich
generation, they can help a congregational
member define a plan of action and inquiry
for a geographically distant aging parent or
relative—or even one close by.
-
promotes and advocates health
and environmental issues at the local and
legislative level.
-
can help you to find
information about free or low cost
medication or health services.
-
is prepared and flexible in
providing health advocacy to all members of
the congregation—whether members are in
their teen years, their young and middle
adulthood life, or in their senior years. No
one is outside of the parish nurses’ care or
concern.
