Baptist Health Regional Hospitals

Baptist Health Regional Hospitals provides access to a full range of comprehensive Health care services to individuals regardless of race, creed, sex, national origin, disability, age, or ability to pay. Although reimbursement for services rendered is essential to Baptist Health Regional Hospitals for the continued operation, financial stability, and ability to provide needed new services and technology, it is recognized that not all individuals possess the ability to purchase Health care and essential medical services. Further, our mission is to serve this community with respect to providing comprehensive Health care services and Health education. Therefore, in keeping with Baptist Health Regional Hospitals' commitment to serve the residents of its community, we provide: - free and subsidized care to those who cannot pay, - care to persons covered by governmental programs at reimbursement below our regular rates paid by other third parties; and - Health education and programs/services to enhance the Health status of the community. Such services and programs are provided where the need and/or individual's inability to pay co-exists. These activities include wellness and prevention education programs, community diagnostic screening programs, special programs for the elderly, youth at risk, handicapped, medically under served, medical care for the uninsured, and a variety of broad community support activities. Baptist Health Regional Hospitals served 12,844 inpatients and provided for 133,987 outpatients and 72,423 emergency room visits during 2022.
