Foundation Board of Directors Lead the Way

Baptist Health Foundation’s Board of Directors are all volunteers who serve without pay.

Their only compensation is the reward of improving the status of healthcare in our communities. Board members are comprised of members of the community who are committed to the vision and mission of our organization. Each Board member takes an active role in fundraising throughout the community and in helping to make sure we achieve our yearly objectives. It is through their guidance that we, as the Foundation of a leading healthcare organization, can continue providing leading clinical care, a compassionate patient experience and state-of-the-art technology. Baptist Health is fortunate to have so many qualified and dedicated members on its Board.

The Foundation Board of Directors are some of our greatest advocates. Their contributions, time and effort help guide the strategic vision, financial sustainability and awareness of Baptist Health as a non-profit organization benefiting from philanthropic support to better serve our community. In appreciation for the hard work demonstrated by our Foundation Board members, each year, the Foundation presents The Spark Award in recognition of those who have successfully fundraised $250,000 or more. This year we are honored to recognize:

Lani Kahn Drody Jay Hershoff Yvonne Johnson, M.D. Jason Koler Barry Katzen, M.D. and Judi Katzen Lindsay Rabito Leonard and Mike Leonard Jane Packard Anita Sharma Patty Stanley

For the first time, Baptist Health Foundation awarded the Physician Champion pin, created exclusively to recognize Physician Philanthropic Advisory Council members who have secured a $1 million or higher donation. Our Physicians also serve as Board members, and were involved in multiple million dollar plus gifts. We are proud to celebrate and acknowledge their engagement and success:

Bernie Fernandez, M.D. Barry Katzen, M.D. Michael Zinner, M.D.
