Community Parish Nurse
Meg Nelson
Our Parish Registered Nurse provides confidential community health nursing care that promotes physical, mental, emotional, environmental and spiritual wellbeing to any resident of the Triangle Community. Services are offered free of charge to the residents. This important health ministry supports individual and community wellness and safety, enabling residents to live independently in better health and to avoid unnecessary hospitalizations.

Nursing services may include:

•  health evaluations to assist residents to identify personal health
    care priorities,

•  individual and group education on health issues and trends,

•  crisis intervention and support during times of illness or grief,

•  referrals and advocacy for health care and social service resources,

•  direction and support to successfully navigate the health care system
    and maintain a health care home.

Our nurse also partners with Edgewood College to serve as facilitator and mentor for baccalaureate nursing students. This relationship provides a unique and most welcome opportunity for Triangle residents to share their stories and health care experiences in educating future nurses.
