Organization Profile
Baptist Memorial Healthcare Corp
Organization Overview
Regarded as one of the premier health care systems in the nation, Baptist Memorial Health Care is an award-winning network dedicated to providing compassionate, high-quality care for patients. With 15 affiliate hospitals throughout the Mid-South, Baptist combines convenience with excellence of care—two reasons we have been named among the top health care systems in the country for several years.
With the intention of caring for people close to their homes, the Baptist system also offers more than 3,100 affiliated physicians; home, hospice and psychiatric care; minor medical clinics; a network of surgery, rehabilitation and other outpatient centers; and an education system highlighted by the Baptist College of Health Sciences.
Since our modest beginning in 1912 with a 150-bed hospital, Baptist has grown to meet the expanding needs of the communities we serve, at one point becoming the largest privately owned hospital in the nation. But what has remained is the same caring atmosphere that inspired our founders. From our kitchen staff and office personnel to our experienced medical staff and renowned clinical services, that pervasive spirit of caring inspires every area of operation at Baptist.
Mission
In keeping with the three-fold ministry of Christ — healing, preaching and teaching — BMHCC is committed to providing quality health care
Organization History
In response to an increasing need for hospital beds in Memphis at the turn of the century, a group of Baptist visionaries set out to open a hospital to meet the new challenges of the growing city. On July 20, 1912, the vision became reality when the 150-bed Baptist Memorial Hospital opened in downtown Memphis. With a mission of preaching, teaching and healing, the downtown facility was the first step on the road to what has become one of the largest not-for-profit health care systems in the nation.
