Fulfilling Our Mission: Charity Care 

 A Commitment to Serving the Less Fortunate 

Baptist Health's Charity Care Reaches Record

Baptist Health provided $270.8 million in charity care in 2009, up from $222.4 million in 2008.
 
The growth has been significant since 2005 when charity care was at $112 million. This reflects Baptist Health’s ongoing commitment to serving the less fortunate.
