She works within NICU at Novant Health Presbyterian Medical Center.

She keeps the congregation informed of health & wellness programs, encouraging the importance of living a healthy lifestyle. She informs us of health screenings & community health fairs. The greatest benefit of faith community nursing is her ability to provide educational health principles, along with spiritual care and nurturing.

She serves in various other capacities; Sunday School Teacher, Associate Minister and a Counselor. Minister Neal is a married mother of four wonderful daughters and five grandchildren. 

Her favorite bible verse is Ephesians 3:20;

Healthy Corner
Health Tidbits

Blueberries:  A study showed that women who ate four or more servings of blueberries per week were able to reduce the risk of heart attack by 34 percent.  Blueberries contain anthocyanin, an antioxidant that’s especially helpful for blood vessels.

Meditation:  A recent study showed that African Americans with coronary disease who meditated for 20 minutes twice a day had 48 percent fewer heart attacks than a control group that did not.

Bread:  It is the biggest hidden source of salt in the American diet.  We eat a lot of it in dinner rolls and pizza crusts.

Exercise:  It’s not just for weight loss.  The benefits of exercise extend far beyond your weight.  For older people, just walking at a moderate pace for 30 minutes a day gives very substantial heart health benefits.
