Adventist Wholehealth Family Care

What Adventist Wholehealth Family Care does

Adventist WholeHealth Network (AWHN), also referred to as Adventist Wholehealth Family Care, is a Pennsylvania-based non-profit health ministry affiliated with the Pennsylvania Conference of Seventh-day Adventist Churches and headquartered in Hamburg, PA. The organization equips SDA churches, K-12 schools, and community organizations with health education, lifestyle counseling, health screenings, bereavement support, and trained volunteers to deliver outreach events such as health expos, health fairs, and screening events. Its core service pillars are Church Health Ministry Programs, School Wellness Programs, and Centers of Influence Programs, all anchored in a holistic body-mind-spirit framework tied to the Adventist health message.

The organization does not build or sell proprietary technology; its "platform" is a volunteer network recruited and matched to local service opportunities across Pennsylvania. Distribution is direct and event-driven: services are delivered in person at partner churches, schools, workplaces, and community centers, with a website (awhn.org) and a monthly newsletter serving as primary marketing channels. The business model is donation- and ministry-support-based rather than commercial — services are provided free of charge to communities through volunteer support, and no pricing model is publicly disclosed. Operations are run by a small identified staff (Executive Director Kermit Netteburg, Corporate Treasurer Cari Haus, and Church Health Ministry Programs Coordinator Dinalyn Arguelles) supported by a broader volunteer network. There is no parent company, no external investors, no funding rounds, and no M&A activity referenced in the available data.
