Seventh-day Adventists have been promoting the health message since 1860.
The big picture: The goal is a restored, balanced life connected to God.
The CORE MISSION of Health Ministries is “To demonstrate God’s love by promoting holistic health (physical, mental, social, and spiritual) and bringing healing and hope through Christ”.
The purpose of the Health Ministries Department is to promote and implement the church’s health message through practical programs that benefit both members and the surrounding community.
