Health Ministry

The purpose of our Health Ministry is to integrate health and faith and thus promote wholeness and healing in our parish.  Parish Nursing holds the spiritual dimension to be central to our practice, which also encompasses the physical, psychological and social dimensions.  We are accountable to our clergy and as a member of the Parish Nurse Partnership of Providence Holy Cross Medical Center we also report all our activities to them on a monthly basis.  This membership allows us to expand our services, provides educational opportunities, and is a resource for professional speakers and materials.

Our activities depend upon the needs of our parish and have included hospital and home visitation, blood drives, health fairs, flu shots, classes on CPR, earthquake preparededness and others.  We do Blood Pressure screenings as an ongoing service.  One of our main goals is to assist our parishioners in making healthy lifestyle choices.
