Welcome to the Parish Health Ministry

We integrate faith and health; we promote physical, emotional, social and spiritual well-being.  We are only as healthy individually as we are as a community.  One person's problems affect the whole and the whole community 's problems affect each person in it. 

Some of the activities we do.
Visitation
     Checking on shut-ins, the ill, the grieving, and the lonely.
Transportation
     Taking to medical appointments, grocery, or just a time away from home.
     picking up prescriptions or staying with the family so you can.
Emergency Care
     Watching family when a crisis occurs.
     Handy-man (woman).
Health
     Provide community health workshops/education.
     Teach health by newsletter, bulletins, web site, and bulletin boards.
Address specific health issues by one on one in person or phone such as:
     Diabetes; ideas on managing on your blood sugar, by the type or amount of food, exercise, or timing of your medication.
     Hypertension/blood pressure, I will check it for you or teach you how.
     Hyperlipidemia/high cholesterol, obesity, stroke, etc.
Facilitate a CPR program

"It Is Okay To Talk About Dying"
Summary of program held Sept. 5:
You are going to die, have a family meeting now, you are in denieal if you
think you are going to live until tommorrow, 5 things you have to say now.
1.  Forgive me (for any wrongs I may have done against you).
2.  I forgive you (for any wrongs I feel you have done against you).
3.  Thank you (for the things that I took for granted, for your love and support).
4.  I love you!
5.  Good-bye (when God is ready for me I am ready)

Need to do this often, practice frequently, always be prepared.
