CREATION SERIES
CREATION Health seminars
At Manchester Memorial Hospital, our CREATION Health specialist is trained
to teach the biblical principles of each letter in the acronym
CREATION.
Along with leading seminars that are open to the public, our CREATION
Health specialist can come to your workplace or church group or any other
group setting and teach the healing principles God laid out for us to adopt
in order to live a happy, healthy life. These seminars are approximately
90 minutes long and cover all eight principles of CREATION Health in one go.
CREATION Health sessions
These are shorter to accommodate a work setting and are done over a
period of eight meetings. Teaching the principles in this type of setting can
help break the monotony of the workplace or re-energize a church family,
as people are inspired to adopt the CREATION Health plan for living a more
fulfilled life.
CREATION Health seminars and sessions include a healthy snack, a brief
lecture accompanied by a few videos on the eight principles of CREATION
Health and an open discussion followed by a devotion.
Wellness Challenges at your workplace
Worksite Wellness Challenges are available for local businesses. These chal-
lenges provide employees with general health screenings and follow-up
visits to assess their improvements. Our CREATION Health team can help
you create a fun challenge to motivate your employees to become healthy.
Interested in having
our CREATION
Health specialist

session series for
your group? Please
