PSHM’s mission is not only to provide basic education for parish nurses and health ministers, but to offer the opportunity to expand one’s knowledge both professionally and spiritually, in the new and rapidly growing field of faith and health. This section of our website provides dates of local, regional, state, and national conferences, classes, and other opportunities for our readers to continue to be “life-long learners.” We invite members to send us educational opportunities that are faith- and health-related for consideration to post on this page.
