PROGRAMS

Ask-A-Nurse Clinics

Serving Northwest Washington — compassionate health guidance when it matters most.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Preventive Health Care In Your Community

With the support of a generous grant from Aging Well Whatcom, Chuckanut Health Foundation, Mount Baker Foundation and NorthSound ACH, Health Ministries Network (HMN) has established a regular preventive health education, connection, and presence at several locations.

​

Our Faith Community Nurses and Health Ministers work alongside community partners to support older adults and families residing in the community.

 

Health Ministries Network (HMN) volunteers provide blood pressure checks, health counseling, referrals, A1C screenings at select locations, and limited health screenings.

 

HMN also contributes to the East Whatcom Health Reporter by providing news articles and links to resources that correspond to the East Whatcom Health Services Fair themes and upcoming Ask-a-Nurse programming.

 

Throughout the program, HMN encourages community members to learn more about and participate in our annual Foundations Course — a faith community nurse (FCN)/health minister (HM) volunteer training available to those who wish to serve from within their faith community or geographic area.
