Since 2014, Seneca Presbyterian has employed a baccalaureate prepared Registered Nurse, Ernie Lombard, as their Parish Nurse. Ernie received his Bachelor of Science in nursing degree from Clemson University and is a native resident of Oconee County. After employment at Seneca Presbyterian Church,  he completed the Foundations of Faith Community Nursing curriculum at Gwinnett Medical Center in Lawrenceville, Georgia.

As many know, healthcare can be complicated. In order to maneuver through the system, information and advocacy is often important. Ernie refers to himself as  “a resource for the parishioners of Seneca Presbyterian Church and for the community which they serve.” He further states, “By my being available and offering information, I feel that the folks at Seneca Presbyterian are in a better position to make informed health-care decisions than some. It is a privilege to be involved in the parishioners’ lives.”
