Adventists are committed to holistic living, which encompasses physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. This commitment is reflected in the church's extensive network of healthcare institutions, including hospitals, clinics, and wellness centers,
which provide quality medical care and promote healthy lifestyles. The church also operates a vast educational system with thousands of schools, colleges, and universities worldwide, emphasizing academic excellence and moral development.
