Health Ministry News

The St. Francis Health Ministry

During the month of October, the Health Ministry partnered with the Michigan Visiting Nurses and organized a flu vaccination clinic, with over 100 people vaccinated. We also worked with The American Red Cross and organized a blood drive and collected over 45 pints of life saving blood. In December the Health Ministry kicked off The National Hand Washing Awareness campaign and educated St. Francis students on germ transmission and the importance of hand washing.

In the coming months look for a blood pressure screening the weekend of February 5-6th after masses. Our annual Health Fair is May 22, where we will have wonderful educational topics and screenings related to health and living well.

The St. Francis Health Ministry also partnered with St. Joseph Mercy Health System and provided parishioners with information on Advanced Directives and Advanced Care Planning.

The St. Francis Health Ministry is committed to educating our community on the promotion of health and wellness and disease prevention. For your health related questions or to get involved call and leave a message at our Parish Health voicemail 734-821-2115~ Danaica Watson, RN parish nurse.
