The Health Ministries Department serves as a resource for information and counsel on health and temperance affairs and advises the Church and its departments and related agencies on health and/or temperance-related policies and programs. 

The health department promotes a healthful lifestyle among church members through literature, programs, and Sabbath services, and provides publications, services, and programs to aid outreach to the world concerning the physical, mental, and soul-destroying effects of tobacco, alcohol, and other substances. [General Conference of SDA]
