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. Although Abundant Health for All formally ended in 2024, its work continues through U.S.-based Abundant Health coordinators commissioned across conferences.
