Health

Adventists believe health and healing are a ministry. They advocate a holistic approach to health that involves physical, mental, social and spiritual wellbeing. Adventist health leaders believe in God’s restorative powers, the prevention of disease through simple lifestyle changes and the effectiveness of proven medical treatment and therapy.

Noteworthy:

  • The Adventist Church’s program to stop smoking was among the first
  • Adventist health leaders work to destigmatize mental health issues 
  • Adventists partner with United States First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move! Initiative to promote healthy, active lifestyles for kids
  • The Adventist Church is one of the Pan America Health Organization’s faith-based partners
  • Adventists believe every church is a center for health and healing
