The Parish Nurse ministry at Prince of Peace helps to care for one another by attaining, maintaining and regaining the best possible whole person's wellness of body, mind and spirit.  The role of the Parish Nurse is a health counselor, referral source, and an advocate for an individual.  The Parish Nurse is a blend of professional nursing and spiritual caregiving.  The Parish Nurse visits members at the church and in their homes or care facilities.

Mary Hume was commissioned as the first Parish Nurse of Prince of Peace in July, 1999.

During Men’s Health Month, men are encouraged to take control of their health, becoming aware of preventable health problems and encourage early detection and treatment of diseases that can affect men.

Don’t just watch a game but get into the game! Eating a healthy diet and getting exercise are two of the most important actions for healthy living.  Men who are physically active tend to live longer and have a lower risk for heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, depression, and some cancers. All adults should be active for 2-3 hours a week. There are several ways to get the physical activity you need. Make walking a part of your daily routine, a great way to get physical activity needed to obtain health benefits. Walking does not require any special skills, just a good pair of shoes.
