Arrive at Uchee Pines, get settled into your room, meet the staff, and begin an experience that can change your life. If you are coming as a lifestyle guest, you will also meet your Lifestyle Counselor who will be with you throughout your program toward health recovery and learning how to continue your lifestyle change once you return home. You will make new friends who will walk with you, talk with you, eat with you, work with you, sing with you, and pray with you. You will be thankful that you came (and may wonder why you didn't come sooner).

Level 1 guests come for medical care, lab work, and treatments for a current health challenge. Level 2 guests sense a need for a lifestyle change but have not developed serious health problems. They are encouraged to participate in this program now, before sickness strikes.

We routinely work with a wide variety of diseases that are common to our society. While God’s methods are very effective in combating disease, they are also effective in preventing disease. Come to Uchee Pines. You’ll never be the same again.

We are a team of Seventh-day Adventist Christian laypersons and physicians specializing in natural methods of healing for the uplifting of humanity. Our desire is that each person coming to Uchee Pines may have total health: health of body, soul, and mind. We also want our guests to go home and teach others the good things God has done for them here.

Due to limited space, please schedule your visit to Uchee Pines as early as possible. Contact us for information about the availability of specific dates.

Check-in time: 3:00 – 5:30 pm. Supper is served at 6 pm followed by a Welcome Meeting at 7 pm.

Check-out time:
8:00 – 11:00 am on Departure day, preceded by Breakfast served at 7 am.
