• Make a provision in your will.

  The Society of 1955 honors those individuals who provide for Baptist Health in their will or estate plan or establish an endowed fund with the Foundation. A named endowment may be established with a gift of $25,000 and above to support a specific program at Baptist Health. Endowed funds are professionally managed and will benefit the designated initiative in perpetuity. For more information email us at foundation@bmcjax.com

• Engage your business in making a difference.

  There are many ways for corporate, media and retail partners to help improve the lives of individuals throughout our community through a partnership with Baptist Health Foundation. For example, Walgreen’s sold “Wolfie” plush toys and all sales during the month of June were donated in full to Wolfson Children’s Hospital. Give us a call to discuss opportunities to create a win-win for your organization.
