Loma Linda University in California and Atlantic Union College in Massachusetts announce they have begun exploratory discussions toward a close working relationship between the two Seventh-day Adventist institutions.

Atlantic Union College first approached Loma Linda University because more than half of AUC students are in nursing or the natural sciences and Loma Linda is the premiere Seventh-day Adventist institution in the health sciences.
