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).
