Congregational & Community Nurse Program

Since 1998, registered nurses in the Congregational and Community Nurse Program (CCNP) have served as Faith Community Nurses (FCNs), a recognized specialty by the American Nursing Association. These nurses support people of all faiths and community organizations. To serve, they must be registered nurses with an active license and BLS certification.

Cone Health’s CCNP works to close healthcare gaps and promote health equity. These nurses go beyond hospitals and clinics, bringing care directly to congregations and communities. They focus on overall well-being—body, mind, and spirit—while addressing health disparities.
