Total joke. Why would anyone want to do all of that to get rid of a notification. You guys are overthinking what should be very simple, if you don't want the Health App, it should not be mandatory to go through all these steps to fix this bug. Stupid Stupid Stupid.

You're certainly entitled to that opinion. However, no one participating in this thread can do anything about it. You should let Apple know your thoughts on the matter:

Dunno, I refuse to download the app. As far as I know, “health” was never on my phone and I’m just going to have to deal with the notification. Supposedly, you download the “health” app, update your emergency contact information, and the notification goes away

Health is one of the pre-installed Apple apps. It comes on every Apple iPhone.
