Written for the popular as well as professional audience, this book provides role models necessary for both congregations and health professionals to develop parish nursing programs. It allows nurses to consider this aspect of healthcare as a career option and provides them with the resources necessary to develop their skills. But more than that, Parish Nurshing illustrates the tremendous contributions of parish nurses, which can improve the quality of health care while lowering costs. Parish Nursing tells the stories of parish nurses who are changing the lives of others, and in the process, are themselves being changed by their response to the call to minister. These emotional stories will leave lasting visions of what might be possible if our ageing society is to flourish in the years ahead.
