Areas of Parish Nurse Ministry
Annual Blood Drives - Zion hosts a mobile Mayo Clinic blood drive twice a year, usually once in January and once in June. Giving blood is a simple way to give the gift of life to someone in need. Stay tuned for dates for future blood drives!
Newsletter Articles - Each month, the Messenger newsletter contains an article, written by a member of the Health Ministry Team, about a seasonal health topic. Topics range from blood pressure to the importance of wearing sunscreen, from healthy recipes to proper hydration.
Visits - In addition to pastoral visits, parish nurse calls and visits offer additional support for individuals with health concerns. If you would like to set up a visit with our parish nurse, contact parishnurse@zion-stewartville.org
