Wesley Nurse Health Ministries™
Our faith-based program, Wesley Nurse Health Ministries™ (WNHM),
serves 72 church sites throughout South Texas by providing Wesley Nurses
to minister to those in need. WNHM is geographically the largest
outreach program of MHM.
Wesley Nurses work in partnership with other individuals and
organizations committed to a healthcare outreach mission. The
partnership of church, nurse, and community is the core of our holistic
program, and allows us to serve the least served through education,
health promotion, and facilitation of resources. We assist individuals
and communities in achieving improved wellness through self-empowerment
and access to healthcare resource information. Our goal is to establish
a standard of excellence in faith community nursing.
The professional practice of the Wesley Nurse is not limited to the
physical dimension of medical needs; rather, it includes a
mind/body/spirit holistic approach.
To summarize our mission, Wesley Nurse programs and services are
designed to:
- Maximize the potential for optimal health;
- Facilitate and promote self-empowerment;
- Recognize, honor, respect, and embrace diversity as a core
function of the professional practice of nursing; and
- Collaborate with individuals, congregations, communities,
agencies, and available resources to provide relevant meaningful
services.
