Celebrating 100 years of Redefining the Delivery of Healthcare

Since its founding in 1907, Washington Adventist Hospital has pioneered bold new ideas in healthcare, distinguishing ourselves not only with the quality of our physicians and clinical excellence but also being in the forefront in wellness and preventive healthcare programs. As a hospital well ahead of its time, we celebrate our 100th anniversary by dedicating ourselves to creating even better methods of healthcare delivery.
