Patients often can use some extra help when they return home from a hospital stay. That’s where Baptist Health’s Congregational Health program can step in. Congregational Health has partnered with congregations of all different faiths throughout South Florida to provide practical and spiritual support to patients who are at home following a hospital stay. Congregation members have received training by participating in a
post-hospitalization spiritual and practical care course. Once trained, these members are placed into Care Teams and become part of the Care Teams Referral Guide, eligible to receive referrals from our hospitals’ chaplains, physicians, social workers and home care staff.
Services provided through Care Teams include: meals, transportation, companioning, caregiver relief, errand running, phone support, spiritual support, home visitation, light housekeeping, transportation and more. To receive a Care Teams Referral Guide or for more information on services provided through Congregational Health, please call 786-594-6360.
