The Parish Nursing Program promotes senior independence while caring for individual health needs. The program’s intention is to promote health and well-being to individuals who have decreased access to socialization, peer interaction and family relationships. Programming includes health education, counseling and support, health care management, health assessment, observation and referrals to care, loss and bereavement support groups, and Starquest Transport. The number of parishioners we serve grew from three to five targeted churches. As the homeless population continues to grow in Broward County, Parish Nurse Services has expanded to serve homeless adults at a day shelter program and a church.

In 2012, the Parish Nursing Program served 2,411 participants.

The Partners in Breast Health (PIBH) program aims to increase access to breast health services in underserved communities throughout Broward County. The hope is to save lives by reducing barriers and providing education and early detection. A mobile medical health unit visited communities in central and northern Broward County that have the highest percentage of poor-quality health indicators. A physician and/or an advanced registered nurse-practitioner provided one-to-one education, general

health assessments, clinical breast exams and mammogram prescriptions for women ages 40 and older. Follow-up care was given to assist patients with diagnostics, treatment and special needs. PIBH receives private and grant funding for screening services, and eligible, approved clients receive treatment and care via the financial assistance program.

In 2012, PIBH provided 996 screenings (mammograms, ultrasounds, magnetic resonance images [MRIs] and biopsies).
