join us and become a friend of the center today!
Through a Friend of the Center (FOC) subscription, you can support health ministry in the name and spirit of the International Parish Nurse Resource Center (IPNRC) and Rev. Dr. Granger Westberg, the father of modern health ministry. An FOC also is interested in the development and expansion of Parish Nurse Ministry both locally and globally.
FOC support helps the IPNRC create and develop tools and resources to enhance Parish Nurse Practice. By listening to the needs of parish nurses, the IPNRC investigates topics, selects projects, and produces materials with the collaboration of parish nurses and experts in the topics selected. Some of those materials are available only through an FOC subscription.
An FOC subscription is $45 a year and provides a number of benefits that support parish nurse practice. A 12 month subscription includes the following:
- A subscription to Parish Nurse Perspectives – the on-line quarterly publication which is the only international periodical for parish nurses Click for a sample Parish Nurse Perspectives>>
