The Friends of the Foundation program is a new way for us to recognize and thank people who support Baptist Hospital through the Foundation. Friends of the Foundation receive personal attention from Foundation staff at all hospitals and clinics within in the system. All contributors giving annual gifts of $1,000 or more are considered members.

Membership in Friends of the Foundation includes:

• Exclusive, behind-the-scenes tours of new innovations and programs.
• Personal assistance with physician referrals and scheduling.
• Complimentary valet parking at Baptist and Saint Thomas Hospitals.
• Recognition in Foundation publications.
• Bi-monthly newsletters featuring stories of how your gifts help Baptist Hospital and its patients.
• Upon referral, the Foundation will provide personal assistance to your friends and family during their hospital stay.

While at the hospital:

• Personal assistance by Foundation staff.
• Foundation courtesy kit - newspaper, toothbrush, note cards, etc.
• Access to the Foundation office for use of business amenities.

We want to recognize the generous support of Friends of the Foundation by making their visit to our hospital as comfortable as possible. Enrollment in the program does not include preferential medical treatment.
