Summary:Parish nurses contribute to community health through the expertise and programming they provide to and through faith communities. Application of community-based participatory research (CBPR) principles helps develop, implement, and evaluate effective community interventions.

The HPNP utilized data to write grant proposals to expand community services to impact obesity.
