The Parish Nurse Program at St. Vincent's Medical Center was developed in response to their commitment of the effective use of health care resources for the benefit of the community. The goal of the Parish Nurse Program at St. Catherine of Siena is to promote the general improvements of health and wellness for all parishioners. Health related services such as health screening programs, educational seminars, health literature and wellness programs are an important part of the program. The Parish Nurse is also available to discuss health concerns with parishioners and as a resource person to assist parishioners in obtaining information and accessibility to community services and resources. With the implementing of these services, the Parish Nurse Program meets the emotional, physical, and spiritual needs of the church members.
