This annual report celebrates the $49 million raised in support of current and future healthcare needs and the more than $16.5 million disbursed to our hospitals, institutes and programs, providing them with the support required to reach new heights in patient care, treatment, clinical education, research and development.
Alex Villoch CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER BAPTIST HEALTH FOUNDATION
From establishing an Innovation Fellowship program at Baptist Health Innovations (p. 11) and funding 85 clinical trials at Miami Cancer Institute and Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute (p. 6), to uniting in support of our healthcare heroes through our virtual Pineapple Pajama Gala (p. 16) and providing more than 2,000 parents with a Halo SleepSack® for their newborn infants (p. 6), your generosity was at the heart of it all. Through your trust and support, Baptist Health Foundation has remained steadfast in our drive to create lasting impact through generosity. We hope to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve and are grateful for all you have done and continue to do to help us achieve this goal. As we set our sights on the future, we are reminded of how important it is to honor the past and celebrate the present. We hope you enjoy reading about some of our successes and continue to join us in our journey to build a healthier community for all.
