As Seventh-day Adventist Christians, we believe a wholesome lifestyle contributes to good physical health and enhances a person's mental and spiritual potential. Recognizing the importance of whole-person health and the relationship of physical well-being with emotional and spiritual well-being, the founders of the Seventh-day Adventist Church opened a new kind of health center in Battle Creek, Michigan in 1866.

During a time when many medical treatments were as harmful as the diseases they were supposed to cure, the new revolutionary healthcare center not only treated disease, but also taught people how to prevent disease through good nutrition, exercise and sanitation. It was a place where each person was valued as a creation of God and where caregivers created a positive healing environment by providing extraordinary patient care.

Within years, the institution and its famous physician and health educator, John Harvey Kellogg, M.D., gained international recognition. Clientele included the likes of J.C. Penney, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Amelia Earhart, Lowell Thomas, William Jennings Bryan, Dale Carnegie, C.W. Post and John D. Rockefeller.

Around the world, the church operates 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.

Today, Adventist Health System, is one of the largest Protestant not-for-profit healthcare systems in the United States and remains true to its Adventist heritage by providing quality whole-person care.

With Christ as our example, we exist to assist in restoring and promoting the health and quality of life of those we serve. The guiding principles for all we do are embodied in our relationship with:

Florida Hospital Fish Memorial Accredited by American College of Radiology

5/10/2006


Florida Hospital Fish Memorial has been awarded a three-year term of accreditation in Mammography as the result of a recent survey by the American College of Radiology. The ACR, headquartered in Reston, VA, awards accreditation to facilities for the achievement of high practice standards after a peer-review evaluation of the practice.

Evaluations are conducted by board-certified physicians and medical physicists who are experts in the field. They assess the qualifications of the personnel and the adequacy of facility equipment. The surveyors report their findings to the ACR’s Committee on Accreditation, which subsequently provides the practice with a comprehensive report.

“The Woman’s Place is very excited to be recognized,” said Woman’s Place Manager Jill Kamla, RT. “This award is a reflection of our talented and skilled employees who work hard to provide exceptional and compassionate care to our patients.”

The ACR is a national organization serving more than 32,000 diagnostic-interventional radiologists, radiation oncologists, and nuclear medicine and medical physicists. Its programs focus on the practice of medical imaging and radiation oncology and the delivery of comprehensive health care services
