Abundant Health for All, a global health initiative of The United Methodist Church launched in 2017, aimed to protect vulnerable communities worldwide from preventable diseases. Authorized by the General Conference in 2016, the initiative focused on addressing the holistic health needs of all communities. Through fundraising and outreach, it met and exceeded the goals of extending lifesaving health interventions to one million children by 2020. Even after this goal was met, the work continued, and ultimately, more than five million women and children were reached with intentional care and viable resources throughout the life of the initiative.
Although Abundant Health for All formally ended in 2024, its work continues through U.S.-based Abundant Health coordinators commissioned across conferences and Global Health work remains at the heart of Global Ministries. For more information visit: Global Health .
Community Health Workers are at the core of the UMC Abundant Health Initiative– a global connection striving for mental, physical and spiritual well-being.
In 2019 The Abundant Health Initiative worked with the health coordination offices of the UMC in Africa to expand essential health services to mothers and children in rural communities.
