White, the Seventh-day Adventist Church first established  the Western Health Reform Institute in Battle Creek, Michigan, in 1866. Over the years, other Adventist sanitariums were established around the country. These sanitariums evolved into hospitals, forming the core of Adventists' medical network. In 1973, the Church decided to centralize the management of its health care institutions on a regional basis and, in so doing, formed Adventist Health System to support and strengthen Seventh-day Adventist health care organizations in the Southern and Southwestern regions of the United States. Ten years later, the regional operations formed a national organization, Adventist Health System. In 1999, Tom Werner became president and  CEO of the company. Werner retired in 2007 and was replaced by Donald Jernigan. In 2018, the company launched the HelloWell app for patients to manage their healthcare. In 2019, the company changed its name from Adventist Health System to AdventHealth. AdventHealth currently operates 50 hospitals and 1,200 outpatient facilities in nine states. Philosophy of care.
