Faith Community Nursing

Faith Community Nursing, also known as parish nursing, is a specialized role within nursing that focuses on the spiritual, emotional, and physical health of individuals and communities within a faith setting. Nurses in this field integrate healthcare and spiritual support by promoting wellness, providing health education, and addressing health issues through a faith-based perspective. They work collaboratively with congregations to enhance health and healing, offering services like counseling, health screenings, and support groups, all while respecting the beliefs and values of the community they serve. This approach emphasizes holistic care that nurtures the whole person.
