LifeChoices® at Bethany is now over 100 members strong. The program began in January 2013 and continues to grow quickly. While people join the program for a number of reasons, the resounding theme we continue to hear is that “peace of mind” is a leading factor in the decision making process. The LifeChoices® at Bethany program is full of amazing, inspiring, intelligent people. Meet a few of them below —
