Polly Keenan, RN, is the Parish Nurse at St. Eugene Church.
Many have questioned exactly what a Parish Nurse does and why St. Eugene needs a Parish Nurse. Doctors offices and hospitals are primarily devoted to the care of people after they get sick. Parish nursing is a non-invasive, preventable approach to keeping people well physically, mentally and spiritually.
As a health educator, Polly coordinates seminars, screenings and health fairs, as well as providing literature concerning health information. Additionally, she serves as a personal health counselor, offering information about diet, exercises and healthy living. Polly also has an extensive basis for health care referrals. All of this is done while blending spirituality into your physical well-being.
Polly also has had extensive experience as an oncology nurse and a hospice nurse.
If you have any questions about the Parish Nurse Program, or services and programs being offered, please to contact Polly Keenan, RN, at 751-7115, x169 or pkeenan(at)steugenes.org.
