Parish Nurses And Health Ministers Agents of Community Change

This book is one of the few that shows the roles of people in faith communities in implementing health programs by people of different professional disciplines. It focuses on the professional nurse, clearly setting out the standards by which the nurse practices, education preparation and the types of programs they do. It is a book that can be used in programs educating parish nurses. But it also addresses non-nurses, including health ministry members, clergy, social workers, pharmacists and others in what they bring to the community. Examples of successful programs, historical development of modern parish nursing and health ministry and trends toward community transformation energized by the faith and health movement are presented.Olson, Melody is the author of 'Parish Nurses And Health Ministers Agents of Community Change', published 2006 under ISBN 9781401834098 and ISBN 1401834094.
