Global Conference

In 2008 the Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO) encouraged the Church to speak on Health and Lifestyle to the world. This invitation was directed to the Health Ministries Department of the Seventh-day Adventist Church through Dr. Margaret Chan’s Office for Partnerships and UN Reform. This was following her initiative to welcome collaboration with faith-based organizations including churches.
The First Global Conference on Health and Lifestyle took place in 2009! The second in 2014 and the last conference in 2019 in Loma Linda CA.
Why a global conference? It affords a wonderful opportunity for the meeting of minds, the sharing of ideas and the exploration of scientific developments together! Learning, debating, discussing and networking with people coming together from around the world is invigorating, encourages growth in our knowledge and our relationships, and serves as a reminder of our mission to “share wholeness and serve all!”
