Our Parish Nurses

What does a parish nurse do?
At Good Shepherd our parish nurses assist the pastor in pastoral care activities such as visiting our shut-in members or providing care packages to families with newborns. Each month they hold blood pressure screenings between church services and they offer their expertise for general health questions/advice. In February, they do a bear drive for children in the Champaign area.
