Since John Wesley first rode across the English countryside toting the Primitive Physick, his book of practical medical advice for all people, health care has been of vital importance to Methodists.
Today, The United Methodist Church is working to bring better health to people in every place, from our own backyards to the world.
To further The United Methodist Church’s commitment to creating abundant health for all, Global Ministries in partnership with the North Georgia Annual Conference, is bringing together local United Methodist churches, health care coordinators, general agency representatives, global health partners, and affiliates for the UMC Day of Health, September 15, 2017, at Dunwoody United Methodist Church in Atlanta, Georgia.
The goal of this content-packed learning event is to showcase the work of the many United Methodist churches and partners engaged in innovative projects and programs that improve the health of their congregations and local communities. Churches and partners are encouraged to visually share their work through a poster gallery exhibit.

The event will also provide United Methodist churches with the tools and resources they need to successfully implement new health care programs and ministries in their congregations and communities.
