Health initiatives introduce church to the community

A good way to reach the heart of the community is through initiatives that support lifestyle. “And your group exemplify what our community needs,” said Y.B. Dr Xavier, head councilor of Taman Sentosa, a local government unit in Peninsular Malaysia, at the opening ceremonies of the health expo, March 15, held at the Adventist Community Health Center (ACC), Klang branch, Malaysia.

Leading out was Mrs Florence Devany, Klang Indian Adventist Health leader, and supported by the members for Taman Sentosa. The event was attended by 130 people from all walks of life.

Serving in the ACC team were four volunteer nurses from Institute Jantung Negara (IJN). The free services included health screening and one-on-one health counseling. A demonstration on healthy cooking, hydrotherapy and Charobics was also done.

“The event was also supported by non-church members who were happy for the conduct of the said mini-expo,” said leaders. [Jane Yap/AND]
