National Baptist Convention, USA, Inc. H.O.P.E. HHS Partnership



Vision

We see a day when all National Baptist churches will have vibrant health and wellness ministries resulting in members being good stewards of their health and wellness.

Mission

We will achieve this vision by reaching across the depth and breadth of our denomination to inspire and enable our fellow National Baptists to commit to healthier lifestyles through

• health and wellness education;
• resource materials and services;
• support networks of trained resource persons and facilitators; and
• evidenced based outcomes assessment.

Challenge

We want to make the NBCUSA the healthiest major denomination in America over the next ten years as measured by the ABCS (aspirin use for those needing it, blood pressure, cholesterol, and smoking cessation).
