Parish Nurses
Call
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. As a health advocate the parish
nurse…
…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.

Health & WellnessIn 2010, we will explore each of the six aspects of our spiritual well-being beginning with our Physical Well-being. When we care for our bodies and our surroundings, we become energized and equipped to nurture our relationships with our family, friends, congregations and community!
Update: As of April 5, 2011, Stretch & Pray has been cancelled for the remainder of the school year and will resume in the fall with details to be announced.
