Dr. Joseph Vetere was born and still lives in the New York metropolitan area with his wife and family. In 1986, he graduated with honors from the New York Chiropractic College. In 2003, Dr. Vetere saw the need to educate church leadership on the necessity of attaining personal wellness as a key component to the Christian walk. This developed into health conferences across the region and eventually across the country. The "Pastors Health Conferences" and the "7 Steps to Wellness Evangelistic Health Conferences" are the only programs that are faith based and use natural health and wellness education as a tool for community outreach and evangelism. Dr. Vetere is the founder and director of the New York "7 Weeks to Wellness" center that serves hundreds of people. He has professional affiliation with City Covenant Coalition and many other faith-based community groups. Dr. Vetere also holds a diploma in charismatic ministry from Oral Roberts University.
