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.
Throughout Perioperative Nurses Week (November 10-16) we celebrate and acknowledge the incredible people who support every detail of surgical care from admission to discharge. At Sydney Adventist Hospital, our perioperative teams participated in a weeklong calendar of events including games, a cook off and educational sessions.
Trekking is an activity that Dr Gurdial Singh has always enjoyed. Before family and work commitments became a priority, trekking was a pursuit he regularly undertook. Over the last few years, he has regained the opportunity to spend time hiking. “My interest and knowledge of trekking comes from hearing and reading about places of worship in the Himalayan mountains where many Indians travel.”
Two year 11 students have experienced what it’s like to be an obstetrician & gynaecologist at the San by shadowing Dr Suelyn Lai-Smith.
