The Parish Nurse Program, Justice & Witness Ministries U.C.C.:"Today we view Parish Nursing as part of the practice of whole health of the person and the community, and returning them to health. A good definition of health does not only encompass the strong physical applications but also those that are spiritual, emotional, intellectual, and environmental. Without treating all aspects, it is difficult to return a person to total health. Health communities are a good place to practice whole health for we have Jesus Christ as our example. He taught us how to love one another and challenged us to do so; He taught us to minister to each other and those in need; and he was the great example of healing."
