Who We Are
We are the Alberta chapter of the national parish nursing association – The Canadian Association for Parish Nursing Ministry – CAPNM.
A specialty practice group for parish nursing was established under the College and Association of Registered Nurses of Alberta (CARNA) in 2012.
A number of parish nursing ministries are located in Edmonton, Calgary, Lethbridge, Red Deer and numerous other centers. The specific number of parish nursing ministries in Alberta is largely unknown.
