Westberg Institute for Faith Community Nursing

Westberg Institute for Faith Community Nursing The mission of the Westberg Institute is to support the professional practice of faith community nur

Since 1986, the Westberg Institute for Faith Community Nursing has worked with nurses and communities as they explore ways to incorporate the specialty practice of faith community nursing (also known as parish nursing) into their faith tradition or practice setting. Staff are available for consultation, education information, exchange of ideas, and mentoring support. Faith Community Nurse, Parish Nurse, Nurse in the Church, Health Minister, Crescent Nurse, Congregational Nurse – These terms are used by nurses that function under the American Nurses Association’s Scope & Standards for Faith Community Nursing. The difference between these nurses is the denomination or faith tradition through which they function. The commonality is the belief that spirituality is an essential element of health. All believe that in any health situation, spirituality must be purposely nurtured using the belief structure and rituals of the individual’s faith, culture, and country. The Westberg Institute also supports the World Forum of Parish Nursing which connects parish nurses and health ministers around the globe. Currently, twenty-three countries have initiated or expanded wholistic health programs in many different faiths and cultures.
