The Parish Nurse by Granger E Westberg
Here, Granger Westberg presents a creative, new way for congregations to provide a wholistic ministry to their members. His parish nurse program brings nurses onto congregations' staffs to work as ministers of health on a part-time or full-time basis. In this way congregations can play an increasingly important role in keeping people spiritually and physically healthy and giving leadership in the field of preventive medicine. Parish nurses serve as health educators, health counselors, volunteer trainers, and support group organizers. In hundreds of congregations, this program has been well received by clergy and church members.E. Granger Westberg (1914-1999) was a well-known pioneer in the fields between holistic healthcare and the interplay of religion and medicine. At the University of Chicago, he held a combined professorship in medicine and religion, as well as a professorship in preventative medicine at the University of Illinois College of Medicine. He also started the parish nurse program, which is now a worldwide movement.
