How It All Connects
Our Approach
Parish nursing is one expression of our WHOLE (Whole Health Opportunities for Life Enrichment) Initiative. We believe health means more than treating illness—it's about nurturing your mind, spirit, and body alongside your community connections.
It's All Connected
Parish nursing connects with our other ministries—prayer groups that support healing, community meals that provide nutrition and connection, educational seminars for wellness, and partnerships with healthcare providers who share our values.
Your Dignity
You're not just a patient or a case number. We see you as a complete person with hopes, fears, resources, and challenges. Cara listens, asks good questions, and helps you find the care and support that makes sense for you and your family.
What the WHOLE Initiative Includes
Parish Nursing
Health education, navigation, and coordination with Cara
OSF Care-a-van Clinics
Quarterly free health screenings and medical services
Sweet Summertime
Annual health fair with free physicals, dental exams, and community celebration
Health Workshops
Classes on nutrition, movement, chronic illness, and wellness
Community Meals
Monthly fellowship dinners, plus food distribution with our partner OSF PeaceMeals near Thanksgiving and Christmas
These work together to address the root causes of illness—lack of access, isolation, poverty, and disconnection—and to build a community where everyone's health and wholeness matter.
Your Health Matters
Whether you have a health question, need navigation help, or want to attend a clinic, you're welcome here. Reach out to Cara directly at cara@mccpeoria.org, call the church office, or attend one of our clinics. We're here to support you.
