Why is Parkview a Seventh-day Adventist hospital?
Seventh-day Adventist Christians have a renowned history of serving communities through healthcare. Parkview Adventist Medical Center was established in 1959 to operate as part of a worldwide humanitarian mission. Parkview’s founding physicians believed in supporting and strengthening the Adventist philosophy of healthcare, which is to provide patients with whole-person healing. Today, Parkview is the only not-for-profit Protestant healthcare provider in Maine. Around the world, the Adventist Church operates hundreds of healthcare facilities dedicated to helping people achieve wholeness of mind, body, and spirit. This approach influences many of our personal lifestyle choices and continues to shape Parkview’s philosophy of healthcare. Parkview’s “Prayer-Positive” environment extends the healing ministry of Christ to every patient. Our mission depends not only on our commitment to Christian ideals but on our efforts to provide nothing less than extraordinary compassionate care.
