A parish nurse program has been established through Common Cup Ministry (CCM). A coordinating nurse works with volunteer nurses from participating churches of CCM to better serve congregational members in a holistic way. The parish nurse focuses on the whole person to emphasize wellness, disease prevention and health promotion, including healthy spirituality. A parish nurse serves a variety of roles in a local congregation and community, including health education, health counseling, integration of faith and health, referral advisor, health advocate, and volunteer coordinator.

Key Benefits

• Each nurse is trained in the philosophy of parish nursing and bring spiritual guidance to members along with programs to improve health and well being.
• The needs of each congregation is evaluated through the volunteer nurse representative and programs provided in collaboration with CCM.
• The coordinating parish nurse provides follow up contact with the clients that have been served through CCM.

The Parish Nurse Program is funded in part through a grant from the Southwest Minnesota Foundation.
