Florida Hospital College of Health Sciences

[EduCativ]

ADU Denver offers faith-based healthcare education with the philosophy that healthcare is a ministry, knowing that the compassion we share with our students will be extended through the service they provide in their healthcare careers. Our combination of academic excellence, nurturing support, and hands-on training sets our students on the right path to a healthy career.
By using Polycom video conferencing technology, students on our Denver site can collaborate in real-time with our students and faculty at our Orlando campus. Our Denver faculty will also periodically teach back to our students in Orlando. All class lectures are recorded for easy access at your convenience. On-site and online tutoring is available free of charge to all our students.
Our faculty provide hands-on learning through lab and clinical education in Denver. Our connection to Adventist Health System ensures that our students have access to clinical education in all Adventist hospitals in the Centura Health hospital system. Our graduates have achieved higher than average pass rates on licensure exams, and Centura Health has hired nearly 70% upon graduation.
If you have ever considered becoming a nurse, sonographer, or radiographer, but need a little more information before taking the plunge, let us help fill in the blanks. Join us once a month for a brief information session that focuses on a specific healthcare field, including a presentation by a healthcare professional working in that field, and how our programs can prepare you for that career path.
Adventist University of Health Sciences (ADU) is a Seventh-day Adventist institution specializing in healthcare education in a faith-affirming environment. Service-oriented and guided by the values of nurture, excellence, spirituality, and stewardship, the University seeks to develop leaders who will practice healthcare as a ministry.

The University is dedicated to developing skilled professionals who live the healing values of Christ. Graduates who live these values virtually extend the healing ministry of Christ.
Adventist University strives to create an educational environment that fosters its four core values: Nurture, Excellence, Spirituality, and Stewardship. From those four ideals, the University has identified seven learning outcomes that inform its curricular and extracurricular endeavors with the goal that they are manifested in the lives of its graduates.
Adventist University of Health Sciences has a rich tradition associated with the pioneering healthcare (1866) and education (1872) reform movements started by the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The church now operates one of the largest worldwide networks of healthcare and education facilities in the world.
The healthcare system extends the healing ministry of Christ to patients at 173 hospitals, 126 nursing homes, and 294 clinics around the world. The University campus is located next to Florida Hospital – one of the most extensive medical facilities on earth – and for several years running the #1 rated hospital in Florida (U.S. News & World Report). The education system extends Christ's teaching ministry to students at 7,579 schools serving over 1.8 million students.ADU is one of 114 Adventist colleges and universities operating throughout the world. This educational system represents the largest operated by any Protestant Christian denomination.
Live out your passion for helping others while enhancing your education. You will get the chance to take the knowledge and skills you have learned in the classroom and use it in the community. With service incorporated directly into your classes, you will have the opportunity to work in local health clinics providing free care to those in need, to teach healthy habits to the local children, and more. This unique opportunity will not only deepen your knowledge but will allow you to make a difference in the lives of others.
Students are encouraged to get involved on campus. Various professional programs plan activities and events to keep students engaged. Campus Ministries is another excellent way of getting involved and meeting new friends. Activities such as picnic and play, weekly worship services, MAKE talent show, a Gala Dinner, and bowling nights are just a few of the events planned by this vibrant group of students. If you cannot participate as a leader, consider being a volunteer for the various events organized. Students can join the local church-based ministries with one of the 60+ Seventh-day Adventist churches in the Orlando area in addition to on-campus activities. The Campus Ministries team and the Campus Chaplains are located in The Office of Mission, at the Andersen House. Students are invited to come and enjoy the Andersen House's back porch, which has a lake view, or take advantage of the study room also available. Stop by to relax, meet new friends, chat or pray with one of the Chaplains, or say hello and grab a yummy snack.
