The Parish Nurse Ministry is grounded in the idea of holistic health, which implies that physical health is an integration of body, mind, and spirit. The parish nurse’s role is NOT hands-on-care or duplication of other services, but to creatively bridge gaps in the health care system. The vision for the parish nurse at Pohick is to promote wellness and prevent disease in the parish community by ongoing communication with parish staff and members regarding its health needs and concerns. Blood pressure screenings, a blood drive, a flu shot clinic, and a CPR course are planned. Judy Schmid, Parish Nurse. 703-969-9381
