BAPTIST HEALTH HOSPITALS
BAPTIST HOSPITAL OF MIAMI Fundraising at a Glance
Baptist Hospital of Miami is the 728-bed flagship entity for Baptist Health, built in 1960 and serving the South Florida community since its inception. Over 2,000 physicians practice at Baptist Hospital of Miami, supported by nearly 5,000 staff members focused on fulfilling our vision of being the preeminent healthcare provider in the communities we serve. As Miami continues to grow and patients travel to the hospital from outside the area to be seen by experts from Baptist Health’s numerous Institutes and Programs, the facility is stretched to its limit. Funded in part by philanthropy, the renovation of Baptist Hospital of Miami continues to be an ongoing priority and will help us meet the needs of our patients while also aiding in the recruitment of medical talent. New patient rooms and family areas help improve patient comfort and optimize safety and efficiency of care, while expanded dining and kitchen facilities help keep pace with our growing patient population.
Looking to the Future
Leveraging new and existing technology, Baptist Hospital of Miami is soon embarking on a modernization of the patient experience, implementing cohesive technology that will provide better connections between patients, clinicians and staff. This new project aims to transform patient rooms into “smart rooms,” utilizing an Integrative Patient System (IPS) which will improve the patient experience with enhanced safety, education and care. The initiative will be piloted in 48 rooms on the 4th floor of Baptist Hospital’s Hope Tower and is expected to be rolled out throughout the entire Baptist Health organization. 23
