Overview
Mission
Extending the Healing Ministry of Christ Through Care, Financial Assistance & Spiritual Support Baptist Health Foundation bridges the gaps between healthcare needs and the resources to meet them. Every dollar we raise goes directly to patients, caregivers, and the community we serve. The Community Support Fund has provided a crucial lifeline for ReMedy by allowing us to embark on a major expansion. This expansion not only addresses an unmet need but also positions us to double our impact. With the support of the Baptist Health Foundation, we can prevent nearly $1 Million worth of used medical equipment from ending up in landfills and extend a helping hand to those in need. Christopher Crain, Executive Director The LUCAS devices are saving lives in our Emergency Departments, and we wouldn’t have them without the Baptist Health Foundation.
