Total Health PageWelcome to the Concord United Methodist TOTAL HEALTH page! As Christians, we desire to be healthy not just spiritually, but also physically. When we are healthy and feel good, we are better equipped to serve God! From Paula Hopper, Parish Nurse...
I have recently taken on the role of Parish Nurse at Concord UMC. This means that I went through some training as a Parish Nurse, and I am available to assist you if you have questions about your health. Parish Nurses are not legally able to provide hands-on care, but I can provide information and help answer questions. If you have questions about your health, or medications you are taking, or other health concerns, please feel free to give me a call or see me at church on Sunday. I may not always know the answer, but I usually have resources to help you find an answer. I will also be placing health information on the Health table in the hallway at intervals, and will continue to take blood pressures monthly. Hopefully soon we will have more nurses involved and be able to provide more services to keep us all healthy! Paula Hopper MSN RN

The Falling Waters Trail in Concord is a great place to exercise!
If you would like to walk the trail together, watch for announcements in the bulletin or via email.
Also, check out this web link for information on pedometers and the importance of getting your 10,000 steps!
