AdventHealth University's Whole-Person Education framework integrates the professional standards of AdventHealth, the theological principles of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and evidence-based research. This approach aligns with AdventHealth's promise to offer whole-person care, addressing body, mind, and spirit throughout the patient's journey. Reflecting the Seventh-day Adventist Church's goal of holistic development and AdventHealth's promise, AdventHealth University is dedicated to nurturing graduates who are exceptional, well-rounded individuals, capable of providing outstanding whole-person care.
Belonging. The theological concept of sanctuary, traditionally a sacred and safe place, manifests in a sense of belonging by creating an environment where individuals feel accepted, protected, and valued.
Wellbeing. The Sabbath, traditionally a day of rest and spiritual renewal, promotes well-being by providing a regular opportunity for physical rest, mental relaxation, spiritual renewal, and social connection, fostering a balanced and holistic approach to health.
Fulfillment and Purpose. Fulfillment and purpose are deeply rooted in the theological concept of the Advent, as Jesus' first coming (Nativity) and the hope of His second coming (Parousia) inspire to live meaningful lives, fostering a sense of purpose through service, faith, and the anticipation of ultimate fulfillment in the promised healing of the society with Christ.
