Programs
Program 1 [2020]
EVIDENCE-BASED HEALTH PROMOTION PROGRAMS: Since 2016, we have trained and supported FCNs in to lead the evidence-based Stepping On falls prevention program in congregations and community settings. To date, over 900 older adults have been touched. We began building on this successful infrastructure in 2020 with additional evidence-based health promotion programs, Living Well with Chronic Conditions, Living Well with Diabetes, Living Well with Chronic Pain, A Matter of Balance, and Tai Ji Quan: Moving for Better Balance. Theses falls prevention and chronic disease management programs empower overall health management and foster social connections. This expansion reflects a growing need by older adults as well as direct requests from FCNs. In 2020, we trained 9 new Stepping On Leaders and 14 Living Well with Chronic Conditions Leaders and provided health-promotion programs to 19 older adults.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2020 – Dec 31, 2020Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$54.8KProgram 2 [2020]
TELEPHONE REASSURANCE: The COVID-19 pandemic prompted us to add a new service in 2020, and in July we launched our telephone reassurance program. Through this new program, we have been able to coordinate 12 faith community nurses to make regular phone calls to adults ages 60 and above in their communities who are experiencing isolation. The nurses making calls relieve isolation and support older adults through senior housing referrals, health status checks, grief support, community resource referrals, intentional listening, and more. FCNs made 982 calls to 383 older adults throughout the 7-county metro area.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2020 – Dec 31, 2020Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$12.2KProgram 3 [2020]
FOUNDATIONS OF FAITH COMMUNITY NURSING COURSE: FCNN is committed to increasing the number of FCNs. To this end, twice each year we offer the Foundations of Faith Community Nursing course, required for RNs to enter the specialty practice. Since 2010, our interfaith team of experienced FCNs and nursing educators has prepared over 160 nurses to serve across Minnesota and beyond. We award scholarships to eligible RNs. FCNN held our first virtual course in the fall using a combination of Zoom and online learning modules. We welcomed 12 RNs into FCN practice, with 5 learners from outside of Minnesota and awarded one scholarship.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2020 – Dec 31, 2020Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$2.7K
