As American Baptists we affirm and support programs, legislation, research and other formulations which help develop a new comprehensive health care delivery system which provides quality services for all people. 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. Secure consumer control over medical health services through appropriate representation on boards, committees and agencies.
