Community Health Network is proud to have more than 70 parish nurses and 20 health ministers in locations across Central Indiana. In addition, we are working with more than 80 congregations who do not have parish nurses or health ministers to integrate faith and health.
Our mission
The mission of Community’s parish nurse and health ministry program is to promote an integration of faith and health through positive lifestyles and activities within the faith community. Parish nurses and health ministry leaders seek to reach out to those who would benefit from involvement in their religious community. The goal is to model a holistic way of health, uniting body, mind and spirit through self-care for the physical, emotional, spiritual and social needs of life, and to assist others to do the same.
Health ministry and parish nursing are practiced within a faith community and are based on the assessed needs of an individual congregation. Working with the pastor, church staff and health ministry committee to integrate faith and health in the congregation, the focus is on health promotion, health maintenance and illness prevention.
