Health is the harmonious integration of body, mind and spirit illustrated in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. Health is experienced in holistic ways including individual and communal dimensions. It is seen in a perspective of totality and comprehensiveness which provides each person with the opportunity and the strength for self-expression and fulfillment.engWith permission of the license/copyright holderhealth care systemnon discriminationprevention of diseasetreatment of illnessequalityReligious ethicsMethods of ethicsTheological ethicsPhilosophical ethicsBioethicsHealth ethicsChristian denominationsBaptist, AdventistAmerican Baptist Policy Statment on Health CarePreprint
