As you mark your graduation from Adventist University of Health Sciences, you deserve to celebrate three important milestones. 1. The successful completion of your studies. You are here today, in cap and gown, because you made the decision to advance your education, to acquire valuable skills, to work hard, to persevere. You are graduates.

    AdventHealth University campus center. Photo courtesy of AdventHealth University. AdventHealth University AdventHealth University (AHU) is a Seventh-day Adventist institution specializing in healthcare education in a faith- affirming environment. The physical facilities of AHU were established, and are still located, on the peninsula which separates Lake Winyah from Lake Estelle in Orlando, Florida next to Florida Hospital’s Orlando campus.1 AHU is accredited as a Level V institution by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) to award Certificates, Associate's, Baccalaureate's, and Master's degrees, and a Doctoral degree. The University is also accredited by the Accrediting Association of Seventh-day Adventist, Schools, Colleges, and Universities (AAA). Hospitals used by the college for clinical experiences are accredited by the Joint Commission.2 The University offers over 20 undergraduate and graduate degrees from associate to doctorate-level, including online and post-baccalaureate certificates. History of the School AHU was opened on August 24, 1992, but its educational history extends back over a century, beginning with medical education programs at Florida Hospital, which opened in 1908 and serves Greater Orlando as a community hospital as well as acting as a major tertiary referral hospital for Central Florida and much of the Southeast, the Caribbean, and South America.3 In 1913, a Registered Nursing program was established by what is now Florida Hospital Medical Center (FHMC) and operated for 70 years as a three-year hospital-based nursing training program. In 1983, a two-year associate degree nursing education program was begun at FHMC under the sponsorship of Southern College of Seventh-day Adventists, now Southern Adventist University (SAU).
