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 new purpose-built imaging centre housing the latest generation digital PET-CT scanner and patient facilities opened on 20 November at Sydney Adventist Hospital (the San) – changing lives through earlier detection and treatment of cancer and brain disease.
In October we mark Breast Cancer Awareness Month. At the San, we have a well-established multidisciplinary team of breast cancer doctors, nurses and health care professionals who are committed to ensuring patients have a positive experience with positive outcomes.
For the sixth year in a row, the Integrated Cancer Centre at the San topped the State in the annual Outpatient Cancer Clinics Survey, showing that our commitment to whole-person care for patients with cancer is making a difference to their lives.
