PARISH NURSING AT SAINT BENEDICT CHURCH

The Parish Nursing Program at Saint Benedict integrates the healing ministry of Jesus Christ and the Church with traditional medical and health care services. Parish Nursing seeks to reclaim and reaffirm the Benedictine and Christian Church's original mission of concern for the whole person - body, mind and soul. 

Parish Nursing is a unique and specialized practice of professional nursing which relies on the independent functions of: Health Education:

Parish Nurses may provide, upon request, Health and Medical Care Needs Assessments and can assist individuals and families in accessing appropriate care and support service--to support individuals and their families in their efforts to Prevent Disease and Promote Health.

Through independent nursing functions, the Parish Nurse embraces scriptural guidance in structuring the events and activities needed by the faith community. Parish Nursing seeks to be a resource in assisting those served in sustaining a peaceful and fulfilling life with God.
