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.

The evidence-based ELIA Lifestyle Medicine Centre at the San is aimed at tackling chronic diseases.
