Sydney Adventist Hospital, affectionately known as ‘the San’, has been leading the way in whole-person health since 1903. Today, we’re NSW’s largest private hospital, providing a comprehensive range of acute surgical, medical and obstetric care. At the heart of everything we do: an unwavering commitment to providing remarkable care.
Celebrating 120 years of caring for our community, we look back at some of the remarkable milestones achieved by Sydney Adventist Hospital since its opening in 1903. This video highlights over a century of dedicated service, ground-breaking medical advancements, and compassionate care.
The San has an ongoing commitment to the education and training of healthcare professionals – and as a teaching hospital, we also invest heavily in medical research through affiliations with major tertiary education institutions. We are proud to have forged a strong academic partnership with Australian National University, and our key partner in nursing education is Avondale University, whose students are able to study and live on our campus.
In 2020, Adventist HealthCare welcomed ELIA Wellness to the family. A registered charity dedicated to promoting good health, ELIA empowers the community to whole-person health, healing and hope, transforming lives in the process. ELIA stands for ‘Empower Lifestyle Innovation Advocates’ and their initiatives include health education resources and fitness programs. The evidence-based ELIA Lifestyle Medicine Centre at the San is aimed at tackling chronic diseases.
A spiritual blessing has been held in celebration of the 1st anniversary of Sydney Adventist Hospital’s Medical Assessment Unit (MAU). More than 1700 patients have been cared for by the dedicated team in the MAU since it opened last year, in ten specifically designated beds on Gee ward. Earlier this month the number of beds was doubled to 20.
An increase in more cases of advanced breast cancer since before the pandemic has been linked to breast screening service shutdowns during COVID-19, a new study from The Australian National University (ANU) shows.
May 20-26 is National Volunteer Week, an opportunity to acknowledge and recognise the challenging work undertaken by the volunteers who work at Sydney Adventist Hospital and the valuable contribution they make. This year the theme is ‘Something for Everyone’ to highlight that there is a place for everyone in the world of volunteering.
