Parish Nurse

BMPC’s Parish Nurse assists in the church’s healing role through a holistic health ministry dedicated to the care of body, mind, and spirit. This includes assessing and identifying the health and wellness needs of church members, visiting church members in their homes upon referral, providing support after hospitalization or during crises, and providing information about health-related support services. A consult with our Parish Nurse may help with: 

• Questions related to a diagnosis or health challenge 
• Grieving the loss of a loved one 
• Short-term practical help (e.g., borrowing medical equipment) 
• Finding a support group, fitness class, or health information 
• Concerns related to caregiving (of children, parents, or those with impairments) 

All communication and conversations between the Parish Nurse and members will be treated confidentially, consistent with standards of nursing practice and pastoral care. No information will be divulged to staff, congregation, family, or other health care professionals without the express consent of the member.
