Community Benefit

Adventist HealthCare, based in Rockville, Md., is a not-for-profit organization of dedicated professionals who work together each day to provide excellent wellness, disease management and healthcare services to the community. We are Montgomery County’s first and largest health-care system, working to deliver superior health outcomes, extraordinary patient experience and exceptional value to the communities we serve.

Adventist HealthCare strives to respond proactively to various health-care needs with a continuum of programs and wide-ranging services that help diverse populations. As part of our mission, Adventist HealthCare consistently provides significant charity care and community benefit to those we serve, totaling more than $62 million in 2011. Our Washington Adventist Hospital alone provided almost 15% of its operating expenses in community benefit, the highest of all hospitals in Montgomery County.

Community Building

Building a successful community requires more than just providing great health care. A community needs jobs for the people who live there, safe homes in close-knit neighborhoods—a liveable, workable environment where families can grow. Adventist HealthCare supports all these needs by contributing our expertise and resources toward programs that strengthen the community.

We live and work in the community and we serve our fellow residents through numerous coalitions and partnerships that represent economic development, workforce development, environmental improvements and more. Here is a list of just some of the organizations we partner with to advocate tirelessly for those we are privileged to serve:
