Baptist Health is a comprehensive healthcare system designed to care for you at every stage of life. Year after year, we are recognized by Northeast Florida residents as their first choice for the best doctors, best nurses and most personalized care, according to a survey by the National Research Corporation. Founded in 1955, our 1,015-bed hospital system is the area's only locally owned and governed healthcare provider and includes five nationally accredited hospitals: Baptist Medical Center Downtown, Baptist Medical Center Beaches, Baptist Medical Center Nassau, Baptist Medical Center South and Wolfson Children's Hospital. Each of our hospitals has earned Magnetâ„¢ status in recognition of our highly qualified nurses and excellent patient care. Baptist Health also employs about 100 primary care physicians, who serve patients in 40 offices located throughout Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia. Other services available include home health care, a community pharmacy network, behavioral health, pastoral care, occupational health, rehabilitation and urgent care. To better serve our patients and improve the timeliness of our care, we use the latest clinical information technology. Three of our five hospitals use electronic medical records, and the other two are on track for conversion by 2011.
