The Mission of Bethel A.M.E. Church's Health and Wellness ministry is to promote the health concerns and well-being of the church community. It shall advocate heath care as a right and not a privilege. We recognize that this policy outlines our wellness initiatives which provide resources, support, and improves the health and wellness of our congregants and the surrounding community.

​ ​ AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO YOU:  YOUR HEALTH MATTERS!
Daily lives look different for each individual.  As you move in your daily routines such as your jobs, school, traveling, family gatherings, and other activities that involve being with or around groups of people, remember and be mindful to do what is necessary, in order to keep yourself & those around you safe and as healthy as possible.

 If being in a mask is necessary, please wear it.  Pay no attention to those who ridicule you. Take care of yourself. Also   as a reminder, remember to wash and sanitize your hands often, including when you sneeze or cough. 
​ Please stay current with the vaccinations and shots listed below.  As we get older, more health issues rise up, if we don't   stay on top of things.
