Parish Nurse

The Parish Nurse Program offers congregations a holistic approach to health that recognizes the interrelationship of the spirit, the body, and the mind. Part of a national, interdenominational group, the local Parish Nurse Program is cosponsored by Carolinas Medical Center-NorthEast and other local ministries. Our Parish Nurse is Paula Lambert, RN.
