Welcome!

The Faith Community Nurse Network (FCNN) is an interfaith, service organization founded in 2004 by faith community nurses for faith community nurses. Our mission is to champion faith community nursing by providing professional education, project and program funding, connections to community resources, networking linkages, advocacy, research, and leadership opportunities.

Come Aboard the NOAH Project!
Nurturing Older Adults at Home

FCNN launched a new project in July, 2010 – the NOAH Project – designed to help older adults remain safe and healthy in their own homes, assisted by their caregivers, with additional supports, community referrals & resources provided by the FCN. The NOAH Project will be directly delivered by a team of 25 or more FCNs and led by Project Director Joann Wessman, PhD, RN, FCN and Project Coordinator Kris Beilby, RN, MPH, FCN.

FCNs are encouraged to contact Joann and Kris today to get involved in NOAH. In addition to the many benefits for older adults and caregivers, the project includes FCN reimbursement for documentation.

NOAH will serve 500 older adults and their caregivers in its first year and is funded by United Way of the Greater Twin Cities, Hennepin County Human Services & Public Health Department, the Otto Bremer Foundation, and our many individual contributors.

Faith community nursing is the specialized practice of professional nursing that focuses on the intentional care of the spirit as part of the process of promoting wholistic health and preventing or minimizing illness in a faith community.
