Message from Leadership
Tomas P. Erban Chairman Emeritus Baptist Health Foundation
Robert G. Berrin Incoming Chairman of the Board Baptist Health Foundation
Alex Villoch Chief Executive Officer Baptist Health Foundation We are honored to present Baptist Health Foundation’s 2019 Annual Report – The Power of Generosity. Through your loyalty and support we had a record-breaking year in fiscal
year 2019, where generous donors like yourself gave more than $47 million to advance research, fund innovation,
strive to build a world without cancer, support youth athletics,
build a completely new hospital and so much more.
You set another record at the second Grand Gala, raising over $6.7 million, the most raised at any Foundation event and
benefiting every entity at Baptist Health. Over 2,000 of you
joined us at the event and supported the entity of your choice.
Each entity had a compelling case for support and funds raised
will allow them to meet current and future healthcare needs of
the South Florida community and beyond.
Whether it is time given, guidance provided or philanthropic contributions made, your support plays an important role in shaping how we
achieve our goals. Throughout this report, you will read about how generosity and philanthropy serve as catalysts
for improvement and how Baptist Health’s entities are
continuing to make monumental strides, not only advancing
our mission, but the way in which we deliver high-quality and
compassionate healthcare to those we serve. We hope that
you enjoy this report and feel inspired to share these stories
with your circle of family, friends and colleagues.
