Parish Nurses

Season 4

They're sent by their faith communities to provide health services to fellow parishioners.

Parish nurses, or congregation nurses, are sent out by their faith communities to provide health services to fellow parishioners. Working 20 to 25 hours a week, they provide care at no charge. The nurses themselves are paid either by their congregations or, in poorer communities, by hospitals or foundations. The idea has caught on. There are now 10,000 to 15,000 parish nurses in this country.
