Its commitment to caring for its community began in 1907. It has a mission focused on providing for and promoting health and wellness - mentally, physically and spiritually. It is the largest provider of charity care and community benefit in Montgomery County. Dietitians, rehab therapists, nurses, behavioral health experts, community health educators, physicians and support staff dedicated to keeping its community healthy and living life well.
Its integrated, health-care delivery network includes five nationally accredited, acute-care and specialty hospitals, mental health services and home health agencies, serving the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area and northwestern New Jersey. Adventist HealthCare is blessed to feature a number of its hospitals, which are recognized nationally for the high-quality care provided to patients.
Hospitals are generally seen as places where the very ill go for treatment of serious conditions at the hands of skilled physicians, nurses and staff. However, in this era of health care reform, hospitals and health systems are now being asked to not only provide quality and compassionate care inside the hospitals, but to also encourage people to stay healthy and to provide communities with resources that encourage a culture of wellness. Thankfully, Adventist HealthCare is already ahead of the curve due in large part to its more than 100 year history based upon Seventh-day Adventist principles of wellness. But its work is not done. Over the coming months and years, you will learn more about new Adventist HealthCare programs that will bring its continuum of care even further into the community to provide population-based care.
Adventist HealthCare demonstrates God’s care by improving the health of people and communities through a ministry of physical, mental and spiritual healing. Adventist HealthCare will be a high performance integrator of wellness, disease management and health care services, delivering superior health outcomes, extraordinary patient experience and exceptional value to those it serves.
