Our Healthcare Ministry is a community and faith-based ministry offered to individuals of all ages who are associated with our congregation.

The ministry is part of a longterm partnership with BayCare's Faith Community Nursing Program through St. Anthony's Hospital.

The Healthcare Ministry team members include Faith Community Nurses (FCN) and Congregational Health Promoters (CHP) working as a team.

An FCN is a volunteer registered nurse licensed in Florida and has completed the FCN course sponsored through St. Anthony’s Hospital.

A CHP is a volunteer, non-licensed health worker who has completed St. Anthony’s training course and works with the FCNs in our ministry.

WHAT WE DO:

The Healthcare Ministry provides a monthly Blood Pressure Clinic the 2nd Sunday of each month in Room 10.

Look for the blood pressure sign in the hallway and come on in from 9:45-10:15 a.m. to get your free blood pressure check!

We also sponsor health education programming, guest speakers, and training events throughout the year.

OUR MISSION:
