Adventist HealthCare's rx for success. * home * Adventist HealthCare's rx for success. Story by Adventist HealthCare Adventist HealthCare is proud to announce a new Pharmacy Technician Training Program - a triple-win initiative that helps alleviate a national shortage of pharmacy techs, empowers professional development and builds a strong pipeline of candidates to meet the needs of Adventist HealthCare patients and providers. The six-week program is designed to hire and train retail pharmacy technicians to expand their skills in order to work with a broader range of medicines, compound sterile and IV medications, assist with medical history documentation, participate in clinical rounds, and collaborate with the healthcare team. The pharmacy techs are then positioned to strengthen patient care and also help optimize health outcomes after patients return to their homes. The program recently earned accreditation from the National Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB), which enables participants to apply for national credentialing. Additionally, the techs can continue their professional development through a three-level career ladder, which includes opportunities for medication specialization.
Adventist HealthCare names Sebrena Sawtell Vice President of Public Relations and Marketing. GAITHERSBURG, Md. - Adventist HealthCare today announced that Sebrena Sawtell has joined the organization as Vice President of Public Relations and Marketing, effective this week. In this role, Sawtell will lead the system's public relations, marketing and communications functions, advancing the Adventist HealthCare brand and supporting the organization's Vision 2030 goals. Sawtell brings more than 25 years of experience leading enterprise brand transformation, executive communications and strategic marketing across healthcare, government and commercial sectors. She most recently served as Head of Marketing at Booz Allen unifying full-funnel marketing strategy with enterprise growth priorities and driving campaigns across healthcare, defense, intelligence, and commercial sectors.

"Her deep experience in enterprise brand transformation, crisis communications and data-informed decision-making will be instrumental as we continue to strengthen our brand and advance our Vision of being the trusted choice for exceptional care in every community we serve." Earlier in her career, Sawtell served regional hospitals in the Chicago area that are now part of AdventHealth and later led public relations and media functions at Life Care Centers of America, a healthcare management company operating skilled nursing, rehabilitation and care centers across 28 states. In that role, she oversaw crisis response and management, strengthened relationships with clinicians and community partners, and led award-winning marketing, publication and fundraising initiatives. She has also worked as an independent consultant designing programs that helped make health and science concepts accessible and engaging for children. Sawtell holds an MBA and a bachelor's degree in communications, along with advanced certifications in change management, digital marketing, artificial intelligence enablement and crisis communication.

MoCo emergency facility to close its doors. Adventist HealthCare will close down its Germantown Emergency Center in July, the group has confirmed. Posted Tue, Mar 10, 2026 at 2:52 pm ET GERMANTOWN, MD - The Adventist HealthCare Germantown Emergency Center will officially be closing its doors to the public in a few months. The medical group said the closure would take effect July 1, pending approvals by state officials. Employees are being given the chance to stay with the medical group by working at the Rockville center or at another location. The emergency facility has been based in Germantown since 2006, when few urgent care centers were available in the area. However, since then, several facilities have opened. The announcement comes on the heels of plans for a $248 million patient tower at the Adventist HealthCare Shady Grove Medical Center, which is expected to house an expanded emergency department.

Grateful patients, generous hearts. February 12, 2026 Adventist HealthCare White Oak Medical Center was alive with energy last September as hundreds gathered for Adventist HealthCare Rehabilitation's annual Triumph Trek and Health Fair. Among the crowd were Jay and Karen Garrett, honored guests whose lives have been intertwined with Adventist HealthCare for decades. At the event, the Garretts received the Patient Award for Outstanding Community Service. For Karen, the connection began in childhood. Her family has trusted Adventist HealthCare through generations. Her grandmother stayed at Washington Adventist Hospital "back when there were rocking chairs on the front porch." Later, that legacy of care continued as Karen and Jay relied on Shady Grove and White Oak Medical Centers and Adventist HealthCare Rehabilitation. Their bond with the system deepened through personal trials. Karen survived three battles with cancer, beginning at age 11. She credits her strength to what she calls a partnership with Kashif Firozvi, MD, medical director of Cancer Services at Adventist HealthCare. Jay also faced life-threatening illness, including a long recovery from pancreatitis, and later received pioneering treatment for atrial fibrillation at White Oak Medical Center. Through every challenge, they found compassion, skill and hope in Adventist HealthCare's caregivers. "They treated us like family," Karen said. "You can feel the mission in everything they do." Out of gratitude, the Garretts give generously to ensure that hospital teams have the tools and technology needed to deliver exceptional care. "We like our gifts to go where they'll make a real difference for patients," they said. Their recent gift to the Shady Grove Medical Center Forensic Medical Unit reflects their lifelong commitment to supporting survivors of domestic violence: Karen as an advocate, educator and spokesperson, Jay as a lawyer providing pro bono services, as well as rides to safe houses. They hope their story inspires others to give back. "When you've been cared for with such kindness," Jay shared, "you can't help but want to help others experience that same care." Join the Garretts in making a difference. Large or small, your gift will help Adventist HealthCare continue to heal, uplift and transform lives. Visit AHCYou.com/W26Give.
