Lee Memorial Health System
Parish Nurse Program

When Rev. Jerry J. Griffin, BCC, our former System Director of Spiritual Services was hired, Jim Nathan, CEO asked him what he envisioned for the Spiritual Services Department. One of Jerry’s visions was the development of a Parish Nurse Program. In October 1997 the Parish Nurse Program started to take form. A steering committee was developed to introduce the idea into our health care system and a Parish Nurse Coordinator Consultant from Bon Secours – St Joseph Hospital was hired part time with funds from our Auxiliary. One year later, LMHS hired their own Parish Nurse Coordinator and now this position has elevated to Director on a full time basis.

Twenty-one faith communities have partnered with LMHS Parish Nurse Program which forms an ecumenical group comprised of the following denominations: Lutheran, Methodist, Presbyterian, Episcopal, Catholic, Baptist and United Christ of Christ.

Parish nursing continues to grow in importance as part of the continuum of care between our healthcare system and the faith community as the faith/health connection is made.
