Parish Nursing Program

If there is an interest in the 2009 training classes it is recommended that preparations begin immediately in order to orient the parish or church to the parish nurse role and to develop a health and wellness committee to support the ministry.  The OSF Parish Nurse Program will provide information and on-site support for accomplishing these tasks. Contact the Manager of the Parish Nurse Program for assistance.
