Faith Community Nurse

Faith Community Nursing is the intentional integration of the practice of faith with the practice of nursing, helping community members achieve wholeness in, with, and through the faith in which nurses serve. Our FCN visits members who are in local hospitals, rehab centers, assisted living homes, and long-term care facilities. Home visits are made upon request with appropriate personal protection equipment. Personal health counseling and phone support is provided for those working through an extended medical concern. Kellie Froelicher, RN, BSN, is MPC’s Faith Community Nurse. She can be reached at 989.835.6759 or kellief@mempres.org.

FCN is a specialty operating under the Scope and Standards for this practice approved by the American Nurses Association. The focal point of this specialty is on the whole person while promoting wellness, disease prevention, health education, and healthy spirituality. FCN recognizes health as a journey toward well-being incorporating the interrelationship of body, mind, and spirit. The FCN ministry at MPC works with individuals by assessing their health care needs and educating the faith community while utilizing community health resources.
