In February 2024, AdventHealth added Kendu Adventist Hospital as its 16th site in the Global Missions program. Established in 1925, the hospital in Homa Bay County has 170 beds. The partnership, with Executive Sponsor Bill Heinrich, CFO for the Mid-America Region of the Multi-State Division of AdventHealth, aims to enhance healthcare access and services by providing preventive, diagnostic, curative, and rehabilitative care. Since the start of the work in Kenya, Sissel Jacob, CEO at AdventHealth Ottawa, is expected to join as the second sponsor.

Why We Did It

AdventHealth established the partnership to address the healthcare needs of underserved populations in Kenya. The project targets gaps in healthcare access, particularly in rural areas, by offering medical services and community education.
