Teddy Bears Picnic 2026!
Last Friday, the Village Green came alive with laughter, bubbles and plenty of teddy bears as hundreds of past and present San babies and their families gathered for the annual Teddy Bears Picnic.
Welcome to the San.
Care matters here.
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.

Education & Research Matters here
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.
