Established in May of 1999, the Founders Society is Baptist Health South Florida’s prestigious donor recognition society. Founders are contributors whose cumulative gifts or pledges to any of the hospital Foundations have reached $50,000. New Founders join a charitable and caring group of friends and community leaders who make the work of the Foundation possible by advancing medical excellence at our hospitals.
