Listed below are the ongoing and new health ministry services available for our congregation and greater community.

Blood Pressure Screenings
Every third Sabbath of the month nurses from our health ministry team are available to do free blood pressure screenings. The screenings are done between 10:00 & 11:00 a.m. in the worship training room just off the foyer. Please take advantage of this opportunity to keep track of your blood pressure by signing up at the table in the foyer.

Annual Blood Drive
Every year our health team partners with our community blood bank to obtain a much needed blood supply for our community. Please watch for announcements in the church bulletin, newsletter, and our website for the date and time and give of your life to help others in need.

CHIP Express
The Coronary Health Improvement Project is held annually every fall. It is an thirty-day program for those who are interested in living a healthier lifestyle. The benefits are many especially for those who are at risk or have diabetes, obesity, hypertension, high cholesterol, and coronary health problems.

CHIP Express Alumni Meetings
CHIP Express graduates are invited to attend monthly alumni meetings to share their accomplishments and their struggles and to find fellowship and support from fellow "CHIPPERS". Our first alumni meeting will be held Tuesday, January 13 at 6:30 p.m. at the Kettering Adventist Church Fellowship Hall. Come and enjoy a light "CHIP approved" supper as well as a very dynamic online presentation: "My Stroke of Insight" by neurologist, Jill Bolte Taylor who got a research opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: She had a massive stroke, and watched as her brain functions -- motion, speech, self-awareness -- shut down one by one. This astonishing story will be viewed via TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design)There is no need to pre-register.

Health Team Meetings
Every month the health team meets to plan for and discuss how to best meet the health ministry needs of the congregation. The meetings are held at the Stonebridge House conference room. Please watch this space for meeting dates and times for 2009.
