Founded in 1955, Baptist Health serves families throughout the region with high-quality, comprehensive care for every stage of life. Currently ranked as the “most preferred” health care provider in the Jacksonville area, Baptist Health is deeply honored to serve the community through a growing circle of care that includes nationally accredited hospitals, including the region’s only children’s hospital. Their healing ministry focuses on the whole person – physically, mentally and spiritually. They are called to improve lives within the community, by providing excellent care for people whose lives have been interrupted by illness or injury, and by promoting health and wellness. They exist for one reason: to serve the health care needs of people in Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia. Baptist Health is a not-for-profit organization owned by the community – not by shareholders. They are guided by a volunteer board of engaged community leaders.
