This ministry seeks to speak love and compassion to the C3 community by helping people maintain a healthy spiritual and physical life. Some of the variety of ways the Parish Nurses seek to achieve this goal include offering BP and Lab Checks through MGH, medical guidance and prayer and emotional support. Interested volunteers need to be a student nurse, EMT, LPN, or RN trained to take blood pressures.
