Adventist HealthCare
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. Based in Rockville, Maryland, Adventist HealthCare employs more than 7,200 people and cares for over 250,000 patients each year among its various entities and services. The primary service areas for Adventist HealthCare are the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area and northwestern New Jersey.
