Health and wellness support for our community

Our Parish Nurse Program provides personalized health consultations and wellness education to support the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of our community.

What is the Parish Nurse Program?

The Parish Nurse Program is a collaboration between local faith congregations and Catholic Medical Center. This program helps local faith communities provide spiritual, psychological and social care to their members and neighborhoods. Members of our community have access to a registered nurse for health and wellness consultations at several local churches through Catholic Medical Center’s Parish Nurse Program.

The program offers services to many local faith communities in the Greater Manchester area, including people of all ages, ethnic backgrounds and religious affiliations. Parish nurses promote wellness by addressing the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of members. Our registered nurses (RNs) offer health and wellness consultations, and many churches partner with us to host wellness programs.

Why Choose CMC’s Parish Nurse Program?

The Parish Nurse Program provides a number of key healthcare and support roles for parish members and advocates for the needs of the underserved members of the community. Services provided include health counseling, education on health and wellness issues, advocacy on behalf of the client, connection to community resources for clients, teachers and trainers of clients and volunteers and support healing of the mind, body and spirit.

  • Blood pressure screenings
