"Sydney Adventist Hospital (SAH), known as ‘The San’, is an acute-care private hospital with capacity for over 550 overnight beds. It is the largest private and largest not-for-profit hospital in NSW. Each year approximately 2,300 staff, 500 volunteers and 900 accredited medical practitioners care for more than 53,000 inpatients and 180,000 outpatients, including approximately 2,000 babies delivered and 19,000 cases presenting to Emergency Care."
Even in the 'early days' it was more than a convalescent facility, and has been training highly qualified nurses right from the start.
Recent extensions and renovations ensure that quality care can be given.

Since 1994 the San has been helping to training doctors in conjunction with The University of Sydney (the first to be based in the private sector).
