Building Healthy Communities through Medical-Religious Partnerships

As a faith community nurse, I found many innovative suggestions on how to build my practice in this book, especially in the approach to pastors of religious communities. The information is well organized. Each chapter gives a variety of examples on how to build a holistic program around different disease entities, including resources that can be used by both the faith community nurse and the patients. The book is a good addition to the libraries of both new and experienced nurses working to build relationships to maintain wellness in body, mind and spirit.
