On July 6, 2025, health ministry leaders from across the Adventist world convened in the Landmark Ballroom at the Marriott St. Louis Grand Hotel in St. Louis, Missouri, United States, for a special Health Ministries Dinner.

The evening celebrated recent wins in physical, mental, and spiritual wellness outreach and pointed toward emerging global health challenges.

“Greet, meet, eat” was the motto that Zeno L. Charles-Marcel, General Conference (GC) Health Ministries director,  used to break the ice, inviting attendees to connect with peers over the meal.

At the dinner tables, health educators, pastors, nurses, and program alumni exchanged strategies and explored partnerships. Unlike previous GC Sessions that relied solely on platform presentations, this interactive format fostered peer connection and collaboration.
