Sacred Heart University News Story
(2017)
Abstract
Sacred Heart University’s College of Nursing has developed a faith community nurse program in collaboration with SHU’s pastoral care services and St. Vincent’s Medical Center in Bridgeport. The program will provide wellness and prevention programs to individuals at the University and in neighboring communities.
Rooted in the Judeo-Christian tradition, yet welcoming of all faiths, faith community nursing is a specialty practice embracing the view that God’s love is expressed in care for self and others.
Sue Goncalves, assistant professor at the College of Nursing, says her vision in developing the program at Sacred Heart “was to integrate the holistic approach to health philosophy into an educational institution committed to the same Judeo-Christian values and philosophy.
