    Description

    A Wesley Nurse is unlike any other healthcare professional you'll ever meet.

    They don't work in a clinic or a hospital, rotate patients through appointments, and aren't just there to care for people's physical needs.

    A Wesley Nurse is an advocate, empowering patients to take ownership of their health and wellbeing.


    A Wesley Nurse is a navigator, helping patients connect the dots between the different health services and resources within their own community.

    A Wesley Nurse is a partner, building relationships to reduce the socio-economic barriers that often contribute to health crisis.

    A Wesley Nurse is an educator, encouraging healthier choices that prevent chronic disease and promote holistic health and wellbeing.


    Above all, a Wesley Nurse focuses on the intentional care of the spirit and improving health outcomes - body, mind, and spirit.

    They are deeply rooted in their communities, walking alongside families and individuals to ensure a healthy, happy, and thriving life for all.

    Wesley Nurses bring life to our mission of "Serving Humanity to Honor God."
