Adventist Health System (AHS) is part of a tradition that began promoting the benefits of good health more than a century ago. In 1866, the Seventh-day Adventist Church opened its first healthcare center in Battle Creek, Michigan. It was a special place where scientific treatment of disease was combined with education in the prevention of disease--a tradition that continues in Adventist healthcare today. Around the world, the church sponsors more than 500 healthcare facilities dedicated to helping people achieve physical, mental and spiritual wholeness. These include approximately 160 hospitals in addition to nursing homes, dispensaries and clinics.
Adventist Health System was established in 1973 to oversee the operations of the Seventh-day Adventist Church's healthcare organizations in the Southern and Southwestern regions of the United States. Since 2001, Adventist Health System has continued its growth by bringing on three hospitals in the Denver area and Shawnee Mission Medical Center in Kansas.
