What is Whole Person Education?

AdventHealth University is pioneering the way we learn and teach whole person care. With Whole Person Education, the individual is at the center of all we do. A strong foundation based on belonging, well-being, fulfillment, and purpose can then lead to a lifetime devoted to living the healing values of Christ. Hear how it works at AHU.

The Whole Person Education Advantage

Your career in health care demands more than clinical knowledge. Whole Person Education empowers graduates to deliver Whole Person Care. When they live the healing values of Christ, they naturally extend His healing ministry.

Your educational journey is rooted in four pillars that inspire a profound transformation:

  • Belonging

    Be part of a campus culture where you feel accepted, valued and ready to collaborate. At AHU, we cultivate community, inclusion, and connection.

  • Well-being

    Nurture every part of who you are at AHU, where we honor your whole self through a deeper focus on your intellectual, physical, spiritual, psychological, and social well-being.

  • Fulfillment

    Connect your studies to your story. When your learning has heart, your potential has no limits.

  • Purpose

    Discern your calling and align your talents with service and the healing values of Christ.
