Faith Community Nursing

Churches are a natural agency to assist their congregation and the community at large in achieving optimal holistic health. Education programs for health ministers/parish nurses have been established and are now being offered by various hospitals and home health agencies across the country. First Baptist Church has begun a Faith Community Nursing ministry. The functions of our Faith Community Nurse are being performed by Eugenia Evans Graves RN, BS.  Please contact her for more information.
