Bridging faith and health
Faith community nurses bridge faith and health by providing whole-person care in our congregations and communities. Churches, synagogues, mosques and other faith communities are effective places for health professionals to reach out and promote the physical, emotional and spiritual health of community members.
Who We Are
FCNN is an interfaith, service organization founded in 2004 by faith community nurses for faith community nurses. Our mission is to advance faith community nursing by providing a whole-person approach to individual and population health.
