TERRY FORDE: Today didn't happen without months and months
of planning and preparation.
What a fortunate, humble blessing
it is for us to be here today and take this next chapter.
112 years.
Not coming to an end today, but a continuation
into our new campus.
Look at that.
Look it.
STAFF: Good morning.

DAVE WEIGLEY: This marks a wonderful chapter
in Adventist's HealthCare's ministry
here in Montgomery County and to other areas.
It builds upon the strong vision of, as Terry said,
the pioneers that have had in mind what Seventh-day Adventist
healthcare looked like.

GEOFF MORGAN: Progress is tangible.
We see the future emerging.
And we are just months away from the new White Oak Medical
Center.

TED WILSON: We understand that Jesus
spent more time healing and teaching than he did preaching.
And that is the legacy that White Oak Medical
Center will continue.

JIM ROST: WhiteOak Medical Center gives us the opportunity
to deliver God's care in a high tech, high touch,
healing environment with state-of-the-art equipment.

NATHANIEL PITTMAN: When we walked in,
there was just like, it felt so good, you know what I'm saying?
Like everybody was on board, on the same team.
And it just nice.
So to know that they care from the old one
and then bringing the same values here
and still show like, we ain't changing,
we gonna get better, that's cool.
CATHERINE BAFFOE: It's like walking into a brand new hotel.
Everything is new.
I'm really happy.

And I've been working at WAF for more than 20 years.
So I'm happy.
KADIATU KAMARA: Everybody's excited.
We've been taking pictures.
And everybody's expecting to be the first person
to take care of the first patient that is
going to be on this unit today.
YULETTE NEWMAN: I noticed the excitement
that everybody was going through.
It's a new beginning for all of us.
It's a new beginning.
