2025 Westberg Institute Faith Community Nurse Coordinator Survey

Welcome to the Faith Community Nurse Coordinator Survey from the Westberg Institute

Dear Faith Community Nurse Coordinator,

Thank you for taking the time to participate in this important survey. As leaders in faith-based health ministry, your insights are invaluable in helping us better understand the current landscape of Faith Community Nursing Coordinators, identify emerging needs, and strengthen support for your vital work.

This survey is designed to gather your perspectives on program development, community impact, training needs, and the challenges and opportunities you encounter in your role. Your responses will help inform future Westberg initiatives, resource development, and collaborative efforts to enhance faith-based health promotion across communities.

The survey should take approximately 15 minutes to complete. Your responses are confidential and will be used only in aggregate to guide planning and improvement efforts.

We greatly appreciate your commitment to holistic care and your leadership in advancing health and healing through faith communities.
