The parish nurse focuses on the promotion of health within the context
of the values, beliefs, and practices of a faith community, such as a
church, synagogue, or mosque. "Parish nurses are called by their faith
communities to be 'ministers of health,' promoting health and healing
within faith communities. For addtional information, contact Mary Evans
