MISSION
Baptist Health Foundation was established almost 60 years ago to provide financial support to advance the healing ministry of Baptist Health. We strategically strive to connect philanthropy to purpose and strengthen Baptist Health’s ability to provide lifesaving care.
Baptist Health has been proudly serving Arkansans for 100 years. It has grown from humble beginnings – one hospital – to Arkansas’ most comprehensive health care organization – with 11 hospitals, including Rehabilitation and Heart Transplant Institutes, and a college dedicated to building a strong health care workforce. The history of Baptist Health includes people working together to advance quality health care for the communities we serve, overcoming challenges to achieve significant developments in health, and being there for every patient who needs us. Baptist Health is dedicated to wellness and driven by purpose.
Together, with philanthropic partnerships, we have the power to transform the lives and well-being of our community.
