Faith community nurses or parish nurses provide valuable nursing care to individuals and communities with a focus on intentional care of the spirit. They assist patients in maintaining wholeness in body, mind, and spirit.
NCF equips and supports FCNs in their calling to love God and serve others through their work in parishes and faith communities.
