ORLANDO, Fla. — Feelings of belonging and purpose cultivated at AdventHealth University resonate long after the graduation cap is tossed in the air.
That culture of care and connection has helped the Orlando campus become a beloved and trusted place for learning and growth throughout Central Florida.
During an 11-day nomination process and an 18-day voting window open to the public, AdventHealth University became the Silver winner in the College/University category of the Orlando Sentinel’s Central Florida Favorites.
In this second annual readers’ choice awards, Central Florida Favorites allows the community to celebrate the best of the area’s shopping, dining, living and learning.
“With nearly 14,000 graduates practicing healthcare as a ministry, AdventHealth University is grateful to hold a special place in the hearts of students, graduates, healthcare colleagues and the community,” said C. Josef Ghosn, EdD, FACHE, president and CEO of AdventHealth University. “This recognition reflects the diligence, talents and passion of our faculty and staff who faithfully live out our mission of developing highly skilled and compassionate healthcare professionals.”
AdventHealth University earned Silver alongside other well-known institutions recognized by voters across the region. Stetson University received Gold, and the University of Central Florida received Bronze.
The Central Florida Favorites public-vote program drew a total of more than 175,000 votes across the region.
