title: Adventist Health System: after the break-up.
abstract: The demise of the Adventist Health System a year ago marked the end of an eight-year experiment. Part of its problems stemmed from disagreement between regional group presidents and AHS executives over consolidated financing and poor diversification decisions that cost the Adventists more than $100 million between 1984 and 1989. But what ultimately sank the system was a rift among Adventist regional group presidents, hospital executives and church leaders over authority and control.
