Giving for Health Care Excellence

Baptist Medical Center Beaches serves a unique role as the Beaches' one and only community hospital, bringing our neighbors state-of-the-art health care, close to home. With so much growth at our hospital in recent years, many in our community may not know all that Baptist Beaches has accomplished as an award-winning health care provider, full-service hospital, educator, employer and caring community partner.

Excellent Health Care Because of You
We continually strive for health care excellence — but the difference between average and excellent is you. Thanks to our donors, Baptist Beaches has set the stage to blossom into an extraordinary hospital from the inside out -- from facility upgrades, top-of-the-line technology acquisitions, and the national Magnet™ designation. We look forward to celebrating this growth with those who made it possible and introducing community members to the Baptist Beaches they may not know.

Baptist Health acquired the facility we now know as Baptist Beaches in 1990, transforming the hospital into a private, not-for-profit community health care provider. The hospital has since grown and developed into a full-service hospital with comprehensive inpatient and outpatient services, including 146 private patient rooms, 16 spacious maternity suites, six state-of-the-art operating suites and family-friendly amenities. Baptist Beaches currently provides a broad range of specialized services, including:

• Orthopaedic surgery and rehabilitation
• Cardiac diagnostics and rehabilitation
• Baptist Beaches Cancer Center
• Digital mammography
• Expanded maternity suites
• Neurological diagnostics
• New endoscopy suite
• Sleep Disorders Center
• Pediatric Rehabilitation Center
• 24-hour Emergency Center

Naturally, Baptist Beaches' patients have a direct link to the vast services and resources of Baptist Health, including Baptist Heart Hospital and Wolfson Children's Hospital. It is all part of Baptist Health's circle of care.
