Parish Nursing is rooted in the ages –old tradition of the church as a place of health and healing, consistent with the basic assumption that we care for self and others as an expression of God’s love. Parish nursing seeks to integrate all aspects of health: physical, emotional and spiritual along with the intentional practice of faith and prayer in an effort to achieve complete wellness. |
