Sydney Adventist Hospital, commonly known as the San, is a large private hospital in Sydney, Australia, located on Fox Valley Road in Wahroonga. Established on January 1, 1903, as a not-for-profit organisation, it was originally named the Sydney Sanitarium from which its colloquial name was derived. The hospital is operated by the Seventh-day Adventist Church, whose Australian headquarters are located in the immediate vicinity of the San. The hospital is known for its quality health care, and offers a broad range of acute medical, surgical, diagnostic, outpatient, support and wellness services, including Executive Health Checks at the Fox Valley Medical & Dental Centre. In 2006 it was awarded the prestigious Australian Private Hospitals Association Award for clinical excellence recognising the San as Australia's Top Private Hospital (over 70 beds).
The hospital is the base for the nursing course offered by Avondale College.
