About Us
In 1903, at the suggestion of Ellen White, a group of leaders from the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists went from Battle Creek, Michigan to Washington, DC in search of a new location for the denominational headquarters, a publishing house, a sanitarium, and a college. They found just what they were looking for in Takoma Park, Maryland. Ellen White contributed a part of the proceeds from the sale of the book "The Ministry of Healing" to help build the sanitarium, and Adventist HealthCare was born.
Today, Adventist HealthCare is a non-profit network of healthcare providers that includes hospitals, home health agencies, nursing centers, and other healthcare services.
