Parish Nurse |
A part-time registered nurse serves both parishioners and non-parishioners in our community. In addition to providing holistic health assessments, patient education, and community referrals to individuals and families, the parish nurse also collaborates with volunteers to present health programs for our community. The St. Jude Parish Nurse program has many programs for all ages such as a hand-washing program for preschoolers, a “Baby-Sitter Class” for eleven- to thirteen-year old children, and the St. Jude Annual Health Fair, just to name a few. The Parish Nurse Ministry offers free blood pressure screenings after the Masses on certain Sundays. These screenings are done by doctors and nurses from our parish who volunteer their time to our program. The Parish Nurse Ministry is also responsible for bringing the Blood Mobile to St. Jude every eight weeks—and our number of blood donors continues to increase. This ministry also schedules the Wellness Van to come to St. Jude throughout the year for free cholesterol and glucose screenings.
