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.
