Team Member Series Sheets: Adventist Health Care Legacy
In 1866, a small group of Seventh-day Adventist church members opened a health care facility in Battle Creek, Michigan. Their unique approach to health was grounded in caring for the body, mind and spirit. This philosophy still serves as the foundation for Adventist health care. Today, AdventHealth is one of the largest providers in the United States, with more than 83,000 team members serving more than five-million patients each year.
