This September, All Nations church collaborated with Loma Linda University (LLU) and Adventist Health Glendale (AHG) to host a community health day Sabbath to celebrate health workers and showcase health careers.
The morning worship service featured LLU students and a message from Dexter Frederick, M.D., LLU School of Medicine associate dean for diversity, equity, and inclusion. A lunch and learn with a health career panel discussion followed the morning service. Panelists featured health professionals in different stages of their careers who took the opportunity to share about their experience in their fields and answer any questions asked by attendees. After the panel discussion, the health fair portion of the event began, providing services such as dental exams, vaccines, and other screenings available from AHG’s mobile health unit. The L.A.
