Here, Granger Westberg presents a creative, new way for congregations to provide a wholistic ministry to their members. His parish nurse program brings nurses onto congregations' staffs to work as ministers of health on a part-time or full-time basis. In this way congregations can play an increasingly important role in keeping people spiritually and physically healthy and giving leadership in the field of preventive medicine. Parish nurses serve as health educators, health counselors, volunteer trainers, and support group organizers. In hundreds of congregations, this program has been well received by clergy and church members.

The Parish Nurse, Providing a Minister of Health for Your Co,
This review is from: Parish Nurse (Paperback)
This is a must for any nurse or church seriously considering a Parish Nurse program. Granger Westberg is considered the "father" of parish nursing. This book presents the background and history of parish nursing and then provides the "how to" to set up a parish nurse program within your congregation. The final section is basic resources including sample job and role descriptions. Possible cost and needs and the models and types of parish nurse services.
