Just a selection of issues that may require future consideration:

The church has paid staggering amounts of insurance claims for accidents and lawsuits in recent years. Tim Northrup, president of Adventist Risk Management indicated that multi-million dollar lawsuits have results because $500 repairs have not been done on Adventist-owned vehicles or equipment. The stats on Adventist incidents of liver and lung cancer is lower among Adventist than the general population, but outside of the blue zones, the incidence of diabetes, high blood pressure, and cancers is just as high among Adventists as it is for all North Americans, and our healthcare costs are staggering. If these trends continue, Adventist Risk Management will be seriously challenged in its ability to provide affordable insurance premiums to institutions and employees in the future.
