Parish Nurse Marla Briggs

There are 31 passages in the New Testament that describe how Jesus integrated faith and healing.  Calvin has an active Health Ministry that is concerned with these same issues.

As the Parish Nurse, I work with the pastors and the Health Ministry Team to coordinate programs and activities that promote health.  Here are some examples:

►American Red Cross blood drives
►Health educational topics discussed in the church newsletter
►Health Fairs
►Walking program
►Provide clothing and equipment for high-risk infants in Washington County
►CPR/AED  classes
►Driver Safety classes
►Baby-sitting certification classes
►Sent stethoscopes to nurses in Iraq
►Provide meals for the Good Neighbor Center
►Contact by phone or visit the pastoral care referrals from the pastors
►Provide health resource information

If you have health-related needs or questions, email or phone your Parish Nurse.  I am at the church on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.

God bless you,
