What is a Parish Nurse?

A Parish Nurse is a specially prepared RN who works within a faith community as a volunteer or paid employee. Parish Nursing is the practice of providing whole person care to the people of the community. It is a specialized area of nursing and is recognized by the American Nurses Association. Practiced internationally, Parish Nursing is a dedicated ministry developed by Presbyterian Hospital and local faith communities.

A Parish Nurse acts as a:

  • Health counselor helping people take responsibility for their own health and wellness
  • Health referral agent connecting people with community resources
  • Health advocate for access to care, education and resources
