Meet the Team Behind the Mission

For more than 40 years, Baptist Memorial Health Care Foundation has strengthened communities through support for innovative medical research, advanced technology, educational opportunities for future health care professionals, and access to care for underserved and uninsured individuals. The Foundation has helped improve lives and expand access to quality health care through the generosity of donors who share our commitment to making a difference.

What began as a modest effort to enhance the quality of life in our communities has grown into a vital resource supporting patients, hospitals, students, employees and families throughout the region. Every program, partnership and success story reflects the trust and generosity of those who believe in our mission, and the people who work tirelessly to fulfill that mission.

The team members featured below are dedicated to carrying that mission forward each day with compassion, integrity and service. These are the people who steward our resources, cultivate meaningful relationships, and help create lasting impact across the communities we serve.

Thank you for your interest in Baptist Memorial Health Care Foundation and the team behind our work.
