Amid a global health crisis, Health Ministries in the Pacific Union adopted virtual methods for hosting classes on beating diabetes, reversing heart disease, improving immunity, and more. When the COVID-19 pandemic brought a halt to in-person classes, Pacific Union Health Ministries Director Lorayne Barton transitioned her classes to digital formats, including hosting several Zoom classes and premiering pre-recorded videos on YouTube, in order to continue helping people reverse disease and live healthy lives. "Community health classes in areas of genuine need and interest continue to be a powerful ministry to reach the community," Barton says. "God has entrusted the Seventh-day Adventist church with the health message of the Bible that will make a tremendous difference in their lives." In order to share Health Ministries resources online, Barton collaborates with Life and Health Network, an ASI organization formed out of the Adventist Medical Evangelism Network (AMEN) and based in the Northern California Conference. The English and Spanish websites have free and low-cost e-courses that include Diabetes Undone, anxiety and depression relief, the eight laws of health, and hydrotherapy. Plant-based recipes and articles on fitness, natural healing, and lifestyle are also available.

Updated Feb 2021 - MVA Safety Reopening Plan

Social Distancing on Campus

We are grateful for the guidance of Santa Clara County and the CCC Education Department. MVA knows that in-person learning is important to our student's development and we have worked hard to make this possible. While we cannot go back to what it was, we can create something new. Check out some of the physical changes you may see when you come on campus to encourage social distancing.
