Stories of Wellness and Wholeness
Life Changing Experiences
After completing a Living Well with Chronic Conditions workshop, one participant writes:
My mindset changed. I realized I’d put my life on hold, expecting to “get better.” When I accepted the fact that I had a chronic condition that I need to
manage, I can’t begin to tell you how much freedom I felt. This workshop was
a life-changing event.
A woman after falling down some stairs and undergoing back surgery ended up
quitting her job and spending much of her time in bed because of pain. She enrolled in Living Well and found the tools to take control. After completing the
workshop, she started working part time and is able to walk for a mile at a
stretch. It helped me realize that my health was in my own hands, she admitted. She added that she no longer expects the doctor to manage her medication
or dictate her activity.
Caring is Catching
She visited her brother often especially during the last two months of his life.
Earlier she had watched as the Parish Nurse journeyed with her bother as he
learned of his cancer and made treatment decisions. Then there was the Sunday
when her brother announced that the cancer was no longer in remission. The
active care stepped up, not only to the dying brother, but also to his sister. The
night her brother died, a member of the congregation was with her all night to
give her support and some respite. After returning home to California, the sister
informed her brother’s church that she was signed up to take the Basic Faith
Community Nursing Preparation Class through her congregation.
The pastor agreed to take the Powerful Tools for Caregiving Class with the
hopes of gleaning stuff he could use in his ministry. Soon I became aware that I
am a caregiver and found the class tremendously helpful in my personal life,
he confessed. He realized that the class is not only a valuable
resource he could use as a pastor, but also provides life skills
useful in other areas.
The hospital chaplain gave a 77-year old women with multiple
injuries from a car crash a blue prayer shawl donated by a
health ministry program. When I offered to bring her a
shawl, her eyes brightened. Blue is her favorite color. Every
day she tells me how much she loves it.

Stories (cont)
Help in the Nick of Time
On three different occasions, members of a congregation walked up to the
Faith Community Nurse and stated that they were not feeling well. She took
their blood pressures and realized that it amounted to a medical emergency.
They went directly to the ER, she stated to a newspaper reporter writing a
story about parish nursing.
A parish nurse who is the wife of a cardiologist shared that her husband came
home one day and reported that he had seen a man in his office that day who
had come to see him just to get the parish nurses in his church off his back. Is
he ever lucky that he came in, the doctor exclaimed. He owes those parish
nurses his life!
Lives Devoted to Wellness and Wholeness
They both attended the Coordinator Class together in 2000. Each have served
as parish nurses since the early and mid-90’s. They shared the honor of 2009
Parish Nurse of the Year Award. They are Jean Vanberg and Rachel Hagfeldt.
Rachel is the Parish Nurse Coordinator at Albany General Hospital and Parish
Nurse at Good Shepherd Lutheran, as well as adjunct faculty of NPNM. Her
peers describe her as creative in responding to community needs, helping access health needs at the homeless shelter, organizing community health fairs,
and actively supporting the needs of people admitted to the hospital. Rachel’s
whole life involves PASSION for Parish Nursing.
Jean is the Parish Nurse Coordinator for the
Franciscan Health Systems in the Tacoma area
and Parish Nurse at Peninsula Lutheran in Gig
Harbor, WA. She is described as a dedicated
parish nurse and a strong advocate for Parish
Nursing. She is known for her compassion for
the underserved, administration and organization and her ability to support others while encouraging autonomy. One person summed it up
by suggesting, Jean reaches beyond the nursing
and supports our whole personhood.
