THE POWER OF GENEROSITY
The mission of Baptist Health Foundation is to inspire philanthropy and
build extraordinary donor relationships in support of excellence, innovation,
community wellness and global leadership in healthcare at Baptist Health
South Florida. Through philanthropy, the Foundation supports and expands
Baptist Health’s ability to provide outstanding patient care and bring the
latest treatments to patients and families affected by a serious illness.
Donor contributions also allow the Foundation to assist Baptist Health
facilities in keeping pace with technology and equipment
advances, perform cutting-edge research and offer
continuing education opportunities to clinical staff.
Baptist Health Foundation
MISSION
The generous support we receive from our donors propels
our organization forward and allows us to continue to
expand upon the quality care that we provide to our
community each day. As a mission-driven not-for-profit
organization, we are increasingly relying on philanthropy
to deliver the difference between what we can do and
what we must do to achieve preeminence and
meet the needs of our community.

We are honored to present Baptist Health Foundation’s 2019
Annual Report – The Power of Generosity. Through your
loyalty and support, we had a record-breaking year in fiscal
year 2019, in which generous donors like yourself gave more
than $45 million to advance research, fund innovation,
strive to build a world without cancer, support youth athletics,
build a completely new hospital and so much more.
You set another record at the second Grand Gala, raising over
$6.7 million, the most raised at any Foundation event and
benefiting every entity at Baptist Health. Over 2,000 of you
joined us at the event and supported the entity of your choice.
Each entity had a compelling case for support, and funds
raised will allow them to meet current and future healthcare
needs of the South Florida community and beyond.
Whether it is time given, guidance provided or
philanthropic contributions made, your support
plays an important role in shaping how we
achieve our goals. Throughout this report, you will read
about how generosity and philanthropy serve as catalysts
for improvement and how Baptist Health’s entities are
continuing to make monumental strides, not only advancing
our mission, but the way in which we deliver high-quality and
compassionate healthcare to those we serve. We hope that
you enjoy this report and feel inspired to share these stories
with your circle of family, friends and colleagues.

MEET THE
CEO ALEXANDRA VILLOCH
4 Baptist Health Foundation 2019

media company and parent company of the Miami
Herald Media Company, before joining Baptist Health.
Alex is past chair of the Beacon Council, Miami-Dade
County’s economic development agency, and chair

One Goal initiative. She served on the executive
committee of the United Way of Miami-Dade and
co-chaired the annual campaign for two years. Alex’s
vision, passion and commitment will undoubtedly
help Baptist Health Foundation continue to change
lives and improve the well-being of our community
through philanthropy.

Q
What is your professional background and how will it help you navigate your new role at Baptist Health?
How do you define success and what drives you to succeed?
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?If you could describe yourself in one word, what would it be, and why?
What opportunities or plans for growth do you envision for the Foundation?
My professional background is pretty unique: I
have been in very diverse industries – banking,
airlines and media – before coming into
healthcare and philanthropy; and in very diverse
areas of each, from finance to operations to sales and
marketing. I have been in global and national companies
– but in the end it is all local – and about serving the
community that you are in. I have deep roots in our South
Florida area. During my career, I have always been involved
in the community and in giving back across a myriad of
nonprofit organizations. This very diverse background – and
having led complex organizations – has certainly helped me
navigate my new role.
My father taught me that the only thing we bring
into this world – and the only thing we leave it with
– is our good name. He said that should govern
every action. Success for me is defined as having
impact, making a difference – being able to help others succeed
and live their best lives.
Surviving cancer 15 years ago certainly helped ensure that I
remain focused! I woke up to be told that I had a 50% chance of
living three years. Thanks to incredible, caring doctors and the
many breakthroughs happening in cancer today, I am here and
healthy. This did certainly emphasize my definition of success –
and adds both a sense of urgency and a clarity of purpose.
It is about spending time with the people in
my life whom I love – family and friends. I
love living in our beautiful South Florida – and
love to be in our garden with my orchids, or
cooking, or outside jogging or biking. We have a 3-year-old
granddaughter who certainly keeps us entertained! And I love
to travel the world. St. Augustine said, “The world is a book
and those who do not travel read only one page.”
One word? Resilient. Having survived cancer 15
years ago taught me that I am able to withstand,
recover and spring back from the most difficult
of situations – be they personal or professional.
In today’s business environment, technology is disrupting
everything – and as leaders we need to be nimble and
willing to embrace change in order to continue to serve our
community with the best in healthcare.
The Foundation has incredible opportunities to be a critical part of Baptist Health’s future growth and
mission. Through the generosity and vision of our donors, the Foundation can make a huge impact in the years ahead – and ensure that Baptist Health continues to be the preeminent healthcare provider in the communities we serve, and a national and international leader in healthcare innovation. Increasingly,
insurance does not cover or reimburse for the things that help provide that key differentiator of excellence. A part of our mission is to provide charity care to those in need in the communities we serve – and this cost continues to escalate. Philanthropy can help ensure we can continue to deliver this vital and core part of our mission. As our Centers of Excellence expand, philanthropy will play an ever-increasing role in supporting clinical trials and funding graduate
medical education – both of which are essential to ensuring that we continue to provide extraordinary care that would not be covered except through philanthropy. Philanthropy can also help provide critical seed money for innovation – through our Innovation Institute Miami. We are in exciting times – there is so much potential for impact – all through the leadership provided by our incredible Foundation Board and the generosity of our donors.

MIAMI DOLPHINS FOUNDATION Through the generosity of the Miami Dolphins Foundation, Baptist Health and the Dolphins organization have once again aligned to make a difference in the community. With a $1.5 million gift from the Miami Dolphins Foundation, Miami Orthopedics & Sports Medicine Institute’s Youth Athletic Outreach Program is receiving the support needed to continue providing athletic trainers at every varsity football game in Miami-Dade County, voluntary EKGs to all student-athletes, pre-participation screenings, baseline testing, conditioning tests and continuing education in sports medicine. Because no athlete or school is ever charged for these professional services, funding is essential. The generosity demonstrated by the Miami Dolphins Foundation makes certain that the program can continue reaching as many student-athletes as possible, preventing injuries, growing the game of football and emphasizing to the community that the safety of our young athletes is important. The Dolphins organization is committed to making a positive impact throughout South Florida, and the expansion of this long-standing partnership with Baptist Health symbolizes the importance both organizations place in making sure our community stays healthy, educated and united to keep our youth football programs safe.
We are proud to partner with Baptist Health South Florida on this important program. Their initiatives align with our core pillars of supporting youth sports, and specifically, safety in youth football. We look at this commitment as just the beginning to a stronger philanthropic partnership moving forward where we can impact the community in a big way together.
– Tom Garfinkel, Miami Dolphins Vice Chairman & CEO
FLORIDA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) is the largest energy company in the United States, as measured by retail electricity produced and sold, serving more than 5 million customer accounts or an estimated 10 million+ people across the state of Florida. Beyond serving as one of the most trusted U.S. electric utilities, FPL is passionate about making a positive impact through philanthropy. A $1 million donation from the organization is benefiting Miami Cancer Institute’s Pediatric Radiation Oncology Program, which is also assisted by the Live Like Bella® Childhood Cancer Foundation. FPL is playing an essential role in helping maintain proton therapy, which reduces damage to the body caused by radiation. People with cancer who receive radiation treatment, especially children, are at risk for permanent damage to their healthy organs. FPL’s generosity will ensure that more children will have access to receiving proton therapy, decreasing their chances of unnecessary tissue damage, which can result in major stunting and lifelong side effects. FPL and Baptist Health share a common goal – pursuing excellence through continuous improvement and constantly striving to seek out new technology to improve the service we provide to our community.
FPL’s partnership with Baptist Health will help Miami Cancer Institute continue extending this innovative proton therapy treatment to the children in our community. Our children are tomorrow’s leaders, and no child should ever be robbed of his or her youth because of the grim diagnosis of cancer. Proton therapy is ideal for treating pediatric cancer because its precision minimizes unwanted side effects. Effective and efficient proton therapy helps shorten treatment times so our children can get back to being children.
– Eric Silagy, FPL President & CEO

HIGHLIGHTS
LIANA AND CARLOS DE MENA Shortly after Liana and Carlos de Mena celebrated their first wedding anniversary, they received exciting news – they were expecting a baby. The soon-to-be parents’ world shifted when their son, Carlos Ray, was born at 25 weeks, weighing only 2 lbs. 1 oz. The baby spent three months in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Baptist Hospital of Miami, and they sat at his bedside each and every day. Today, Carlos Ray is 9 years old and is stronger than ever. Liana and Carlos are eternally grateful for the ways Baptist Health cares for families like theirs, and, to express their gratitude, they donated $60,000 to the NICU at Baptist Hospital in honor of their son. For their family, philanthropy means generosity in action; it means being part of building a better future for their loved ones. By supporting the NICU, Liana and Carlos are helping to increase the quality of care provided by the unit so that other families can experience watching their children grow up in the same way they have watched Carlos Ray. The support Liana and Carlos received from their doctors, nurses and support staff while Carlos Ray was being cared for at Baptist Hospital gave them the confidence to try for babies number two and three. Today, they are a family of five with three healthy children.
Giving to Baptist honors our son – his first breath, his first step, his first word, the childhood he has been able to have; Baptist made that possible for our family. Our pledge honors the people that helped us when we most needed it. Giving to Baptist Health honors our family – the promise of our future and the memory of our past.
– Liana and Carlos de Mena
ROSARIO RICO-TORO KORN Rosario Rico-Toro Korn became involved with Baptist Health after her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. Upon her mother’s diagnosis, Rosario brought her mother from Bolivia to seek treatment at Miami Cancer Institute. After receiving treatment from the Institute, her mother is now proudly cancer-free, and Rosario has shown her appreciation for the care given to her mother through philanthropy. After discussions with Govindarajan Narayanan, M.D., chief of interventional oncology at Miami Cancer Institute and interventional radiologist at Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute, Rosario took the initiative and made a $100,000 gift in support of a new CT scan, which will help guide physicians during laparoscopic procedures. By being the first to make a donation in support of a new CT scan, Rosario is leading the way for others to contribute and showing us all the importance of giving back. With a new CT scan, which will be entirely funded by donations, physicians will have the opportunity to treat cancer via image- guided, minimally invasive procedures. Philanthropy has always been important to Rosario. As a parent, she instills in her children the importance of giving back to one’s community and striving to make a meaningful difference. She also takes immense pride in seeing miracles brought forward by philanthropy to positively touch and enrich lives. Rosario now serves on the Baptist Health Foundation Board of Directors, Miami Cancer Institute Council and the Baptist Health International Services Council.
I give to Baptist Health primarily because of the incredible care my mother received at Miami Cancer Institute during her fight with cancer. Additionally, I support Baptist because of its undeniable commitment to comfort and quality healthcare from South Florida’s best doctors.

MIKE LEONARD AND LINDSAY RABITO-LEONARD, JIM RIFKIN AND JANE PACKARD After Hurricane Irma destroyed much of Fishermen’s Community Hospital in 2017, a philanthropic goal of $15 million was set to contribute to the total $40 million estimated to build a new hospital. Husband-and-wife duos Mike Leonard and Lindsay Rabito-Leonard and Jim Rifkin and Jane Packard, who are all residents of Marathon, stepped up to help lead the fundraising efforts. These core four answered the call to bring their community together after devastation and have helped raise an astonishing $13.4 million thus far. Mike, Lindsay, Jim and Jane understand how important this rebuild is for their community and have poured their hearts into this campaign. For them, this is not just about raising funds for a new building; this is an investment in their community – their home. Their commitment, hard work and determination are ensuring that future members of their community will have access to healthcare. The bond that has been developed in the Marathon community is stronger than ever and continues to be a source of inspiration and motivation for Mike, Lindsay, Jim and Jane. Generations to come will be impacted by everything they have accomplished.
The rewarding part of the fundraising is the bond that has developed here in Marathon of those that are financially supporting the hospital and the ability to see the overall picture. This is an investment in our community for the benefit of our residents, businesses and the thousands of people who visit our great city each year. That is exciting and that is what drives us.
– Mike Leonard and Lindsay Rabito-Leonard, Jim Rifkin and Jane Packard
ALFREDO TEJERA When it was time for Alfredo Tejera to retire from Assurant, he knew he wanted to spend his time giving back to the local community. Desiring to unite friends, fun and fundraising, Alfredo hosted a disco-themed retirement fundraiser, which he called Studio 31, representing the late 1970’s disco era and the 31 years he worked at Assurant, with the proceeds benefiting Miami Cancer Institute. Alfredo’s father-in-law passed away from cancer. He recognized that this disease affects so many families and he wanted to do something to make a difference. For every dollar Alfredo raised at Studio 31, Assurant generously agreed to match the funds in an effort to encourage more donations. It was Alfredo’s hope to not only raise funds for Miami Cancer Institute, but to raise awareness, as well. At the end of the evening, each guest received educational information about Miami Cancer Institute, which later resulted in cancer diagnoses for two of his guests who decided to make appointments at the Institute after attending Studio 31. The fundraiser, in conjunction with Assurant, donated $20,700 to the Institute. Alfredo’s effort served two purposes – raising funds to build a world without cancer and helping spread awareness about Miami Cancer Institute and its vision for their team to work together to accelerate progress toward their ultimate goal of finding a cure for cancer.
Studio 31 was a creation to utilize my retirement as a launch pad to celebrate family and friends in a fun-themed event while raising funds for Miami Cancer Institute that is generating advanced cancer care treatment solutions and research that is directly benefiting local members of our community.

HIGHLIGHTS
THE DOTSON FAMILY The patriarch of the Dotson family, Albert E. Dotson Sr. has served on Baptist Health Boards throughout the years, and as a result has witnessed Baptist Health’s faith-focused commitment to health, well-being and professional, empathetic medical care. Over the years, many members of the Dotson family have been recipients of Baptist Health’s high-quality, compassionate care – from the birth of family members to the treatment of health challenges. To commemorate the legacy of Albert and Earlene Dotson Sr., the family made a gift of more than $1 million to fund Baptist Health’s efforts in providing patients with compassionate care supported by the latest technology at Miami Cancer Institute. As pillars of our community and true visionaries for Baptist Health, the Dotson family continues to impact our community in ways that will never be forgotten. By setting an inspiring example highlighting the importance of family, leading by faith and spreading kindness to all, our community is a better, more compassionate place. The Dotson family will forever remain a part of Baptist Health’s fabric because of their commitment to our mission and their generosity to help our organization bring forward meaningful healthcare.
Albert and Earlene Dotson Sr. have made philanthropy and community service a part of the Dotson family ethos since their union. Both of them recognize that they have benefited from the kindness and thoughtfulness of so many during their lifetime and that their faith commands service to others. They have led the family’s efforts through their own engagement and service in each of the communities in which the Dotson family has resided. Each member of the Dotson family has followed the lead of Mr. and Mr. Dotson Sr. for the same reasons.

THE HARRY T. MANGURIAN JR. FOUNDATION, INC. Several years ago, officers of the Harry T. Mangurian Jr. Foundation met Bernardo Fernandez, M.D., chief executive officer of Baptist Health Medical Group. More recently Dr. Fernandez told them about an innovative concept called telehealth, and the Mangurian Foundation knew it wanted to provide philanthropic support. A $2 million gift from the Foundation has directly benefited the exploration, development, procurement and implementation of telehealth solutions at Baptist Health in order to provide our community with more access to healthcare. Telehealth (or telemedicine) is the use of medical information exchanged from one site to another via electronic communications to improve a patient’s clinical health status. It includes a growing variety of applications and services, such as videoconferencing, email, smartphones, electronic imaging, wireless tools and other forms of medical and telecommunications technology. For the Harry T. Mangurian Jr. Foundation, Inc., philanthropy is important because it provides essential funding in our community for programs involving education, medical research, disease awareness and other notable and worthy causes. Without philanthropic dollars, progress in each of these areas would be slow-moving or even nonexistent.
As a measure of the effectiveness or success of philanthropic grants, it is important to first perform adequate due diligence regarding any proposal, followed by a reporting structure for the stewardship of the funds. In both cases, our relationship with Baptist Health has successfully met those requirements.

Three leading South Florida organizations – the Miami HEAT, Baptist Health’s Miami Cancer Institute and Entercom, the #1 creator of live, original, local radio content in the U.S. – have formed a unique philanthropic partnership in the fight against cancer: HEAT.HELP.CURE., representing “Join the HEAT. You can help. Find a cure.”
The new initiative’s signature event was the first-ever
HEAT.HELP.CURE. Radiothon and was held in November
2018. It brought together the power of the Miami HEAT,
the reach of Entercom’s radio stations – 101.5 LITE FM
(WLYF), Power 96 (WPOW-FM), 102.7 The Beach (WMXJ-
FM), 104.3 The Shark (WSFS-FM) and 790 The Ticket
(WAXY-AM) – and the South Florida community all for one
purpose: to build a world without cancer.
Jackie Simmons, a Miami Cancer Institute patient and
six-time cancer survivor, understands the importance
of philanthropy in the fight against cancer. While under the
care of Grace Wang, M.D., an oncologist at Miami Cancer
Institute, Jackie fought hard to get to where she is today
and attributes much of that to the encouragement she
always received from Dr. Wang and the hope they both
shared in knowing that funds supporting research will one
day lead to a cure.
Jackie and Dr. Wang participated in the HEAT.HELP.
CURE. Radiothon and shared their extraordinary story,
which spans nearly 20 years. When asked why someone
should feel the need and the want to donate through the
Radiothon, Jackie said: “We are survivors. Some of us
don’t make it, but the ones who are here now are
survivors and need to contribute. People who have
had cancer need to donate and give back.”

“Every day, cancer researchers and physicians at
Miami Cancer Institute work tirelessly to build a
world without cancer,” said Miami Cancer Institute’s
Founding CEO and Executive Medical Director Michael
Zinner, M.D. “Our community can make a genuine
impact through this new partnership.”
“This is a cause that all of us at the Miami HEAT are
passionate about,” said Steve Stowe, vice president
and executive director of the Miami HEAT Charitable
fund. “So many of our lives have been touched in
some way by cancer. And by sharing stories of
the compassionate care and clinical excellence
provided to those in our community by the teams at
Miami Cancer Institute, we bring hope to others.”

MEDNAX HEALTH SOLUTIONS PARTNERSMaking a Difference
For more than 40 years, MEDNAX Health Solutions
Partner’s clinicians and administrative support teams, in
collaboration with valued hospital partners, have pushed
the status quo and challenged the unknown to deliver
today’s unmatched level of patient care and customer
service. As a leading health solutions provider, MEDNAX’s
commitment to the communities it serves speaks volumes
about the impact it strives to make each and every
day. With over 4,000 partner facilities, it is no wonder
MEDNAX’s reach and involvement is making a difference.

Baptist Hospital of Miami is fortunate to be one of those
partner facilities, and we have MEDNAX President and
CEO Roger Medel, M.D., and our own Patricia Rosello,
Baptist Hospital chief executive officer, to thank for that.
Dr. Medel, a physician who grew up in Miami, instantly
clicked with Patricia, who has been part of Baptist Health
South Florida for over 20 years. Together, they envisioned
what was next for Baptist Hospital through philanthropy
– a new neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and a 3-D
imaging lab.
Growing up only eight blocks away from Baptist Hospital,
Dr. Medel recognizes the important role Baptist Health
plays in the lives of the residents we serve, stating,
“I think it’s unique in this community; I think it’s been a symbol of healthcare here in this community for many, many years. When people think of healthcare in South Florida, in South Miami, in Kendall, in Coral Gables, the only place they think of is Baptist.”
The tie that Dr. Medel has had with our organization
for many years became even stronger when MEDNAX
donated $5 million to Baptist Health to redesign Baptist
Hospital’s NICU and make a 3-D imaging lab possible.
With this gift, MEDNAX served as the title sponsor
of Baptist Health’s 2019 Grand Gala, leading the
way in giving back, showing generosity and healing our
community.
Baptist Hospital’s NICU is currently housed on two
separate floors in what is known as “ward style,” meaning
that up to 15 babies can share a space, leaving little
room for privacy or cohesiveness among the staff. While
there is a great sense of community among the parents,
Patricia has actively advocated for these parents to have
their own space and make it their own. She describes
the need for the NICU redesign as “critical for those
parents to have the best experience in the most
difficult of times, because no one wants to have
a baby in the NICU after waiting nine months.
No one.”
When Patricia first showed Dr. Medel the current NICU
layout, he knew MEDNAX could be instrumental in helping
transform the space. “When we saw the unit, we said
this is exactly what we want our money to go to.
We can make the biggest impact by establishing,
organizing and developing a new NICU,” Dr. Medel
said. It was through the perseverance and passion of both
Dr. Medel and Patricia that this redesign will be made
possible and will increase the level of care at Baptist
Hospital.
MEDNAX’s philanthropic support was also key in bringing
to life a 3-D imaging lab, which has been an initiative
that Baptist Hospital had hoped would take flight for quite
some time. The 3-D imaging lab is impacting how we
deliver care and is changing the way our clinical staff
looks at imaging – offering more precision in diagnosis
and treatment, more standardization and a centralized
imaging hub for all Baptist Health entities. Advances in
technology are vital factors that move healthcare forward.
Thanks to the generosity of Dr. Medel and MEDNAX,
Baptist Hospital now stands at the forefront of imaging.
Philanthropy helps us deliver the highest quality of
healthcare. Philanthropy is the differentiator. It’s a
game-changer and makes a difference in many
ways. The friendship that Dr. Medel and Patricia formed
through these efforts produced a meaningful gift that will
positively affect lives for many years. Giving back to his
community was a true privilege for Dr. Medel. What made
this experience even more special was knowing that
he and Patricia united as a team to leave a legacy,
showing the importance of coming together, creating
connections, having a vision and doing everything in your
power to make it a reality.

FOUNDATION BOARD OF DIRECTORS
LEAD THE WAYBaptist Health Foundation’s Board of Directors are all volunteers who serve without pay.
Their only compensation is the reward of improving the
status of healthcare in our communities. Board members
are members of the community who are committed to
the vision and mission of our organization. Each member
takes an active role in fundraising throughout the
community and in helping to make sure we achieve our
yearly objectives. It is through their guidance that we, as
the Foundation of a leading healthcare organization, can
continue providing leading clinical care, a compassionate
patient experience and state-of-the-art technology.
Baptist Health is fortunate to have so many qualified and
dedicated members on its Board.
The Foundation Board of Directors are some of our
greatest advocates. Their contributions, time and effort
help guide the strategic vision, financial sustainability and
awareness of Baptist Health as a nonprofit organization
benefiting from philanthropic support to better serve our
community.
In appreciation for the hard work on the part of our Board
members, each year the Foundation presents The Spark
Award in recognition of those who have raised $250,000
or more. This year we are honored to recognize the
following board members and their spouses:

The next generation of philanthropists are, in
fact, among us. As an enthusiastic, engaged
and philanthropically minded group, the Young
Philanthropists of Baptist Health (YPBH) are shaping
the future of fundraising. Members in this group range
from age 21 through 49. Through philanthropy,
community service and education, YPBH members
invest time and resources in care and prevention,
while connecting people in underserved communities
to the services they need and deserve. The Young
Philanthropists of Baptist Health is open to the
community, meaning one does not need to be directly
affiliated with Baptist Health to be part of the exciting
movement spearheaded by this dynamic group.
Young Philanthropists focus their fundraising efforts
on an annual project, such as important health
and wellness initiatives, specialized services
or new technologies to improve patient care and raise
funds to make them a reality, rotating efforts among
entities within Baptist Health. With a robust and
thriving social media presence, YPBH members are
challenging the status quo and raising awareness for
the next generation of donors, introducing them to the
importance and impact that philanthropy can have on
our world.
By using the power of teamwork and their almost
180 members, last year YPBH supported Miami
Cancer Institute’s Better Caring for Pediatric Patients
project. This initiative is geared toward improving
the experience for our pediatric patients by creating
unique ways to help minimize stress and anxiety,
while also celebrating those who have completed their
radiation treatments.
Because of YPBH, over 40 end-of-treatment celebrations have been fully funded at Miami Cancer Institute.
These Young Philanthropists are succeeding in
leaving their mark and are working to make a genuine
difference in the health and well-being of the South
Florida community.

TEAMWORK Young Philanthropists of Baptist Health
16 Baptist Health Foundation 2019
Baptist Health has had the distinct honor of being recognized 19 times as one of Fortune magazine’s 100 Best Companies to Work For. Since 85 percent of the evaluation is based
on what employees report about their experiences of trust and
reaching their full human potential as part of their organization,
no matter who they are or what they do, it speaks to the
culture of quality, commitment, clinical and service excellence
instilled into every member of the Baptist Health family.
“The success of Baptist Health fundamentally says something
– actually, it says everything – about the people, or family
members, of what I fondly refer to as ‘Team Pineapple.’ The
Governing Board members, the medical staff, the employees
and the volunteers are all working together to provide the
highest-quality healthcare, delivered with compassion, to the
patients of the communities we are privileged to serve,” says
President and CEO Brian E. Keeley.
As one of the largest employers in South Dade, with
approximately 23,000 employees, those who work at Baptist
Health are a huge part of our community. Their commitment
to our organization and community stems beyond their day-
to-day tasks and is proven through their kindness when they
choose to give back. As a highly generous and philanthropic
group, our Baptist Health employees are making a difference
when they support our Employee Annual Giving campaign.
It was thanks to our spirited employees that a new Infusionarium for pediatric cancer patients at Miami Cancer Institute was made possible. The Infusionarium, which combines immersive video technology with lifesaving infusion therapy, such as chemotherapy or IV antibiotics, was fully funded by our employees through a brick campaign, which raised $500,000.
Since the Employee Annual Giving systemwide campaign’s
inception nearly five years ago, Baptist Health employees have
raised more than $1 million, enabling us to fund research,
provide cutting-edge technology, create innovative approaches
to treating our patients and extend our extraordinary care to
our patients. Employees can choose to give where the need is
greatest, or from one of almost 60 systemwide funds.
Giving back helps our employees connect with what Baptist
Health stands for on a deeper and more personal level. Using
philanthropy as a vehicle is a unique and generous way for
them to actively be part of Baptist Health’s goals to invest
in sourcing and retaining the best doctors and nurses. Our
employees are some of our greatest advocates and they are
truly creating meaningful impact and changing lives in our
community.
FROM WITHIN:
EMPLOYEE ANNUAL GIVING
Dr. Joe and the Cayman Islands For almost 60 years, Baptist
Health has stood for the highest-
quality healthcare in South Florida,
featuring one of the largest
hospital-based international
programs in the United States. Baptist Health ranks among the best hospitals in the country, according to government health studies and ranking systems such as U.S. News & World Report. Thousands of people each
year travel to Miami from around the world to visit Baptist
Health’s respected physicians and medical facilities, and
we, too, have worked to expand our reach to establish an
international presence outside of our country’s borders.
Joseph Ostroski, M.D., one of Baptist Health’s early general
surgeons, has dedicated time and effort to help serve
our international neighbors for close to 50 years. As the
physician liaison between Baptist Health Foundation and
the Cayman Islands, Dr. Joe, as his patients affectionately
refer to him, began working with the Cayman Islands
community even before he embarked on his journey with
Baptist Health. For years, he immersed himself in their
community, assessing patients and serving as their link to our
organization. His roster of patients ultimately grew from dozens to thousands. With the help of Baptist Health
International, Dr. Joe has been instrumental in bringing patients from the Cayman Islands to South Florida, making it possible for them to be treated by some of the best physicians and clinical staff.
The Cayman community has truly embraced Dr. Joe as one
their own. Simply stated, he is family. His kindness and
overwhelming commitment to their community has left an
impact and filled a void no one even knew existed. Because of this, many have come forward to show their support of Dr. Joe through philanthropic contributions benefiting the Joseph T. Ostroski, M.D., Endowment – a fund created to establish an endowed chair, ensuring that his legacy will live on for years to come.
As we look forward to the future and envision how our
international presence and philanthropy can integrate, we
are reminded of the impact Dr. Joe continues to leave on the
Cayman community and how his story is a gateway to the
bigger picture. The generosity and gratitude of those he has served will ensure that other members of their community can come to Baptist Health to receive the medical attention they need. Dr. Joe’s passion for healthcare and the grateful Caymanians who have donated to the Joseph T. Ostroski, M.D., Endowment have led the way for us to continue growing Baptist Health’s connections beyond South Florida.
INTERNATIONAL
CONNECTIONS
Expressions of Support: Bahamas Community Baptist Health sprang into immediate action to provide support as aid efforts began after Hurricane Dorian devastated the Bahamas. Rose Rahming, Baptist Health’s local representative in the Bahamas, assisted with the coordination of relief efforts from the National Emergency Operations Centre, as well as the Baptist Health International office in Nassau. Baptist Health South Florida worked with the Bahamian authorities to provide a significant amount of medical supplies to the functioning hospital in the region, Princess Margaret Hospital, located in Nassau. Baptist Health also notified Bahamian authorities that our doors were open for any patient transfers from those affected by the storm. Locally, Baptist Health partnered with South Florida-based Operation Helping Hands, which was activated by United Way of Miami-Dade, to provide disaster relief to our Bahamian neighbors and friends in their critical time of need. To date, Baptist Health has helped raise almost $200,000 for hurricane relief efforts.

GRATEFUL PATIENTS
FOUNDATION BOARD MEMBER, GRATEFUL PATIENT, CANCER SURVIVOR
Here in South Florida, we are fortunate to have access to Miami Cancer Institute – a state-of-the-art cancer treatment facility,
bringing Baptist Health’s outpatient cancer services together under one roof.
I was shocked and scared when I was first diagnosed with prostate cancer in January of 2019. Two days later, I walked into
Miami Cancer Institute for follow-up exams and to meet with my physicians to create a treatment plan. The welcoming
environment created by the caring and compassionate staff immediately reduced my anxiety. Two treatment
options were presented and together with Maria Amelia Rodrigues, M.D., we decided to move forward with TrueBeam radiation,
designed to treat targets with enhanced speed and accuracy. Having the power to not only treat quickly, but also deliver highly
precise dose rates are hallmarks of the TrueBeam system.
I underwent this radiation twice a week for five weeks. During those five weeks, my relationship with the team at Miami Cancer
Institute grew very close and their support through this journey was outstanding. From the very beginning, I was aware
that Miami Cancer Institute offers one of the world’s most comprehensive and advanced radiation oncology
programs, but the quality of the treatment and the human interaction exceeded my expectations. On week five, it
was time to ring the Bell of Hope, signaling the end of active treatment and the beginning of a cancer-free life.
Because I was so grateful for the level of care I received and the support I felt from everyone at Miami Cancer
Institute, I decided that I wanted to give back. I was so moved by my experience that my wife, Rosita, and I made a
donation in support of Miami Cancer Institute to name one of the Bells of Hope. As a member of the Baptist Health Foundation
Board of Directors, I have always believed in what Baptist Health stands for and the work they do to better our community and
bring the highest level of healthcare to everyone they serve. But when you become the patient and you experience what I did,
you come to recognize the true impact that Baptist Health can have on one’s life.
I am forever grateful to not only have been treated by world-class physicians who saved my life, but that I also
get to share my story with the community and shed light on how this organization makes a difference every day.
Giving back to Miami Cancer Institute has been one of the proudest moments of my life. Knowing that my contribution will help
Miami Cancer Institute continue to thrive and have a positive impact for other individuals going through what I went through
brings me immense honor – generosity can change lives.

TWIST OF FATE: How a Cancer Diagnosis Made Me a Better Physician The Monday after Thanksgiving will never be forgotten. On this day, I was told I had the one diagnosis both physicians and patients
dread – cancer. Even though I have been an anesthesiologist for 30 years, I found myself feeling very alone and unprepared
after learning of my tongue cancer diagnosis. In a twist of fate, I would now experience the hospitals, clinics and dealing with
insurance companies from a perspective that was rather foreign to me. The physician had just become the patient. The range of
emotions I experienced that day were unlike any I have ever felt before. I started to immediately put together a plan to determine
the next steps after I gathered myself emotionally and mentally from the shock. My first call was to Siddhartha Venkatappa, M.D.,
an oncologist at Miami Cancer Institute and a personal friend. His compassion, knowledge and understanding of cancer helped
greatly alleviate my anxiety. My next call was to Minesh Mehta, M.D., a radiation oncologist and deputy director of the Institute,
who, again was incredibly kind and understood what I was going through. He explained the disease to me in great detail and
we discussed the different treatment options. I feel fortunate to have these two wonderful physicians as friends, but even more
fortunate to be able to call on them as a patient. Both Drs. Venkatappa and Mehta strongly recommended Geoffrey Young, M.D.,
an oncologic head and neck surgeon.
My wife and I went to Miami Cancer Institute to meet with Dr. Young and I was thoroughly impressed with the professionalism and compassion shown by the staff every step of the way. While waiting, I was regularly approached
by someone asking me if I was OK or if they could do something for me. I felt understood. As soon as I met Dr. Young, I knew
he was the right surgeon to help me through this. His understanding of the disease, knowledge of the latest research and kind
bedside manner put my wife and me at ease. He thoroughly, and patiently, answered all questions and even provided us with
medical opinions from Memorial Sloan Kettering. Two very painful surgeries and five weeks later, Dr. Young finally gave me and my
family the news we had been praying for: I was cancer-free!As a patient going through this journey, there were many things that stood out in my mind that will stay with me forever. I am
dedicated to helping increase cancer awareness by reaching out to as many people as possible in the hopes of making even
a small difference in someone’s life. Vigilance is important, but it’s even more important to keep going back to your physician to ask questions, advocate for yourself and trust your gut feeling if you suspect something is wrong. Since becoming a physician, I have always been careful not to personalize patients’ problems, but as a patient, it was becoming more and more clear to me that I wanted the medical staff to personalize me and treat me as someone more than just a patient. Keeping this in mind, as a physician, I hope to become better at communicating with patients and showing more empathy and compassion.
Samir Kulkarni, M.D.Medical Director, Anesthesiology Homestead Hospital President, Homestead Hospital Foundation Council
Just like Marcos, many before him have come forward to support Miami Cancer Institute in helping create opportunities to enhance the patient experience, which can have a direct impact on lives like Dr. Kulkarni. Philanthropy at the Institute has made it possible for integrative medicine, for example, to play a role during one’s treatment by providing nutrition counseling, art and music therapy, physical activity and exercise training, massage therapy and acupuncture. Funded in part by the generosity of donors, the Integrative Medicine Program promotes lifestyle changes that work together with traditional medical treatments to enhance a patient’s health and wellness. Generosity through philanthropy helps shape patients’ experiences. Because of the support and dedication shown by the many who support Miami Cancer Institute, patients like Marcos and Dr. Kulkarni will be positively impacted by additional resources made available by philanthropy.

20 Baptist Health Foundation 2019
In March 2019, we celebrated our Grand Gala, bringing more than 2,000 guests to
the newly renovated Miami Beach Convention Center
Ballroom and raising more than $6.7 million. Presented
by title sponsor MEDNAX Health Solutions Partner, it was the largest social and fundraising event in the
Foundation’s history, with proceeds uniquely benefiting
the Baptist Health cause of each gala-goer’s choice
– including Miami Cancer Institute, Miami Cardiac &
Vascular Institute, Miami Orthopedics & Sports Medicine
Institute, or any of our healthcare organization’s 10
hospitals and clinical, community or educational
programs from the Florida Keys to Palm Beach.
Michael Feinstein, the multi-platinum-selling, five-time
Grammy-nominated singer and pianist dubbed “The
Ambassador of the Great American Songbook,” proudly
served as the Grand Gala’s headline entertainer, and
captivated guests with a 45-minute performance of
iconic songs, including “New York, New York,” “Bye Bye
Birdie” and “Our Love Is Here to Stay.”
But behind the big party, the musical entertainment and
all the glitz and glam is the why – our why. Why we
do what we do, why philanthropy is important, why the
support of our community matters.
Brian E. Keeley, Baptist Health president and CEO
and Grand Gala co-chair, stated during the event that
“philanthropy allows us to continue to provide the latest, most innovative technology, such as proton therapy, robotics and new MRI radiation therapy, and to house them in attractive, patient-friendly surroundings. Simply stated, philanthropy allows
us to transition from ‘good’ to ‘great,’ and can make the difference between excellent care and extraordinary care.”
Baptist Health strives to be the preeminent healthcare
provider in the communities we serve and the
organization that people instinctively turn to for their
healthcare needs. Our patients give us purpose, our
community provides us with extraordinary support
through generosity, and the drive to make a difference is
what inspires us every day.
We wish to thank and acknowledge all the generous
sponsors of the 2019 Grand Gala!

INNOVATION INSTITUTE MIAMI
INNOVATION in·no·va·tion | \
'i-n e-'va-sh en
Definition of innovation 1: the introduction of something new 2: a new idea, method or device
Barry Katzen, M.D., founder and Chief Medical Executive of Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute, was instrumental in kick-starting Innovation Institute Miami in 2017. The Institute develops and commercializes intellectual assets for
products, devices, tech apps, therapies and delivery models to promote human health globally. A catalyst for change and discovery, it provides resources for an open pipeline that allow inventors to submit ideas for healthcare advancements. This includes medical devices (implantable and non-implantable), technology development, applications linked to devices and other process improvements.
Dr. Katzen laid the foundation for future growth, funding and opportunities with a focus on solving unmet needs in the patient experience. Under his leadership, donors rallied together to get the Institute off the ground and the
work to develop new technologies and solutions geared toward improving healthcare began. Determined to become a national and international leader in innovation, and with the support and vision of Baptist Health leadership, Mark Coticchia was recruited last September to serve as corporate vice president of Innovation.
An engineer by training and a venture development expert by profession, Mark’s background is in technology commercialization and innovation, having applied his skills within complex academic research settings, such as Carnegie Mellon University, Case Western Reserve University and Henry Ford Health System. He brings 35 years of experience in early-stage ventures – sourcing, vetting and investing in new technologies and companies through an international network of talent, capital and technology.
“Though Innovation Institute Miami was founded three years ago, we are now putting in place the infrastructure to not only change how we do business, but to generate new revenue streams. We will lead the South Florida technology ecosystem by leveraging an array of valuable assets, including inventions, data, software and know-how, both clinical and operational, in order to foster healthcare innovations to ensure better care, better lives and economic impact. What drives me is the opportunity to create enthusiasm and excitement for innovation among our clinicians and staff – and creating new products and services for the benefit of society,” said Mark.
As Innovation Institute Miami embarks on this new chapter, with Dr. Katzen and Mark leading Baptist Health’s corporate innovation strategy and direction, philanthropy will continue to play a critical role – providing dedicated dollars to support the program. Philanthropy allows us to invest in this long-term strategic initiative that has the potential to create many patient care solutions right here at Baptist Health. Disruptive cutting-edge technologies are often in an early stage, and therefore far too risky to attract private-venture funding. Philanthropic dollars, with their lack of return requirement, play an important role by allowing early-stage ventures, like Innovation Institute Miami, to explore and nurture innovative concepts and ready them for external capital investment.
The number of healthcare systems creating formal innovation programs is still low, but certainly growing. There is a broad appreciation in the industry for how such programs can support recruitment and retention of high-caliber clinicians, as well as create new technologies to drive future healthcare delivery models. Mark and Dr. Katzen, along with other Baptist Health leaders, will leverage our organization’s existing investment in talent and infrastructure to create a healthcare innovation program that will fulfill our health system’s vision of becoming a leader in innovation, and philanthropy will become an even more important factor in obtaining success.

Creating impact:n Tony Alonso Leadership Development Fund –
Established in honor of Tony Alonso, inaugural chair of the
West Kendall Baptist Hospital Board of Directors, the fund
supports programming and education about leading with
integrity, ethics and humility for current and future Baptist
Health leaders.
n Graduate Medical Education and Nurse Scholar Funds – Established to support exceptional
students and residents at Baptist Health
to further their academic interests
and leadership skills, including
development of chief residents

are leading the charge in how philanthropic support will help the
growth of the Center for the Advancement of Learning through their generous donation
of $400,000 to create The Nahmad Research Fellowship at Miami Cancer Institute and
The Al and Jane Nahmad Research Fund at Miami Orthopedics & Sports Medicine Institute. The
fellowship will support Michael Zinner, M.D., chief executive officer & executive medical director, and Horacio Asbun, M.D., chief of hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery, at Miami Cancer
Institute, and will combine world-class care with leading, cutting-edge research to provide highly-effective, personalized
treatment options for patients. Under the direction of John Uribe, M.D., the research fund at Miami Orthopedics & Sports Medicine
Institute will support new research staff and technologies to help compile, analyze and report on data focusing on patient
outcomes. The establishment of their fellowship and new fund falls in line with the Center’s goal to attract, train and retain the
best medical professionals to serve our community.

WHAT’S NEW Baptist Hospital now calls a “Code Hero” to honor those who make the decision to donate their organs at the end of their life. The short distance the heroes travel from the ICU to the surgical suites where the organ donation process begins is known as the Honor Walk -– often referred to by the donors’ families as “the loneliest walk.” With the family’s consent, when a “Code Hero” is called over the intercom, staff, patients and families may escort the hero in this life-changing journey. It’s a silent way to pay tribute to the organ donor patients and their families and an opportunity to express gratitude, respect and compassion. Families are invited to fly the organ donor flag at Baptist Hospital and receive special recognition as a reminder of their loved one’s selflessness. Philanthropic support from our donors will be key in helping Baptist Hospital create a Wall of Honor to recognize and commemorate each of our heroes.
BAPTIST HOSPITAL OF MIAMI
DID YOU KNOW? As part of the renovation currently underway at Baptist Hospital, we have identified ways we can improve our patients’ experience. While we focus on the modernization of surgical suites and creating more functional waiting rooms, we are also establishing a roadmap to enhance patient satisfaction by making it faster and easier for patients and their families to navigate the hospital. Visitors will be able to access digital directories to guide them to their destination and volunteers will be positioned in key areas of the hospital to help with navigation. We will also incorporate the use of visual mapping as a graphic tool to more clearly present the different areas within the hospital. Shifting our attention to creating opportunities to increase patient satisfaction is vital to establishing a healthy community that makes
them feel cared for when they walk through our doors.
FUNDRAISING AT A GLANCEBaptist Hospital is undergoing a sizable renovation, touching on several different areas. Top priorities include the renovation of the surgical suites to accommodate new technology and increased complexity of surgical cases. Simultaneously, patient rooms, as well as common areas, such as the lobby and waiting rooms, are being renovated to be more functional and suitable for our patients and their families. Philanthropic funds
are being collected to support this effort, highlighting Baptist Hospital’s commitment to maintaining a patient-centered approach to healthcare. Philanthropy helps our organization advance our mission and vision to deliver high-quality services to our community. Since environment plays a significant role in the healing process, we are dedicated to improving our facilities to better each patients’ experience at Baptist Hospital.

Currently, Baptist Children’s Hospital has 22 level II and 14 level III neonatal intensive
care beds. The unit provides round-the-clock care for babies with a wide variety of
medical problems, including extreme prematurity, respiratory distress syndrome, perinatal
asphyxia, persistent pulmonary hypertension, sepsis, congenital anomalies and complex
neonatal surgery. Having a level III rating means that Baptist Children’s Hospital can care
for sick newborns who require immediate surgery and for those who weigh less than
1,000 grams (2.2 lbs.). Despite the high-quality services already provided in the NICU,
renovations are needed to carry out both the medical and programmatic elements of care
that meet with today’s standards. Philanthropy comes into play to help bridge the gap as
we continue to reach new heights of excellence.
BAPTIST CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL
WHAT’S NEW
Spreading kindness through acts of generosity is exactly what Little Palms Press achieves
when it donates specialty items to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Baptist
Children’s Hospital. The Miami organization began donating items for our hospital’s NICU
babies and their families as a way to give back to the community. Some of the items
donated include NICU graduate onesies, graduation caps for the babies to wear when
they leave the NICU and tumbler cups for the parents. Little Palms Press is making a
difference at Baptist Children’s Hospital. These small and thoughtful acts of kindness
show us the importance of supporting one another and how spreading the warmth of
one’s generosity can impact lives in the most positive of ways.
DID YOU KNOW?
Modernizing Baptist Children’s Hospital’s (NICU) will cost
more than $15 million to reconfigure the existing units
to better accommodate patients and their families. While
increasing single-family rooms, the new layout will also
allow for state-of-the-art equipment, clinical administration
and provider spaces. The reconfiguration will provide more
comfortable spaces for family members to remain at the
bedside so that they may exercise greater control over the
environment of their newborn. Evidence shows that a more
private setting improves the clinical patient experience,
enhances the well-being of the babies and improves clinical
outcomes.

WHAT’S NEW Doctors Hospital has achieved Magnet recognition as a reflection of its nursing professionalism, teamwork and superiority in patient care. The American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Magnet Recognition Program distinguishes organizations that meet rigorous standards
for nursing excellence. With this credential, Doctors Hospital joins the global community of Magnet-recognized organizations. Just 492 U.S. healthcare organizations out of over 6,300 have achieved Magnet recognition. Achieving Magnet recognition reinforces the culture of excellence that is a cornerstone of Baptist Health’s service to our community. It is also tangible evidence of our nurses’ commitment to providing the very best care to our patients.

Benedict John Toth demonstrated his gratitude to Baptist Health by setting up a
planned gift through his estate to benefit Doctors Hospital’s Imaging Services upon
his death. Benedict’s desire to leave a legacy at Doctors Hospital and impact the
lives of patients for years beyond his own is nothing short of inspiring. Because
of his generosity, Imaging Services is receiving new state-of-the-art equipment to
enhance patient safety, reduce costs and minimize medical errors. Our priority as
a leading healthcare organization is to always provide the highest quality of care
to our patients. Thanks to Benedict’s commitment to our mission and vision, he
will always be remembered for the contributions he has made to improve Imaging
Services at Doctors Hospital.

The intensive care unit (ICU) is one of the most critically functioning operational
environments in a hospital. ICU teams are multidisciplinary and are made up of highly
skilled doctors, nurses and specialists who are ready to offer critical care for patients.
The ICU at Doctors Hospital is undergoing a huge renovation, with completion
expected by September 2020. To increase the level of care our clinical staff can
deliver, philanthropic dollars serve as the catalyst for innovation and new possibilities.
A new ICU is instrumental to not only enhance our patients’ experience, but also
ensures that we are offering the best care possible to anyone who requires ICU care.
Only 492 U.S. healthcare organizations out of over 6,300 have achieved Magnet recognition, and Doctors Hospital is one of them!

FISHERMEN’S COMMUNITY HOSPITAL
WHAT’S NEW
In September 2019, Baptist Health broke ground on the new
Fishermen’s Community Hospital, which is projected to open in
the summer of 2021. The hospital was closed in September of
2017 when Hurricane Irma caused extensive damage to much
of the area. The new hospital will be a one-story structure built
to withstand a Category 5 hurricane and will include an on-site
helipad, 24/7 emergency department, surgical services and
diagnostic imaging. Additionally, the facility will be built at a higher
elevation to further combat damage in the event of flooding.
DID YOU KNOW?
Despite its temporary quarters, Fishermen’s Community Hospital has experienced increases
in patient counts and inpatient procedures. Patients are now able to stay overnight at
the modular facility and, as a result, more patient procedures have been performed. The
facility’s outpatient services are also booming, offering imaging, ultrasounds, CT scans
and general x-rays. Emergency visits have also been on the rise, totaling over 8,000
visits for the year. In the aftermath of a crisis, Fishermen’s Community Hospital’s staff has
demonstrated resilience, pride in their community and a strong will to continue serving their
patients in delivering the best-quality care during the new hospital’s construction.
FUNDRAISING AT A GLANCEFishermen’s Community Hospital has been caring for
the Florida Keys community since it opened in 1962.
After Hurricane Irma destroyed much of Fishermen’s
in 2017, a field hospital was quickly opened to provide
uninterrupted care to the community. In July of 2018,
Baptist Health replaced the field hospital with a
modular facility, which continues to provide a broad
range of healthcare services to the Middle Keys until
the new hospital is completed. A philanthropic goal
of $15 million was set to contribute to the total $40
million estimated to build the new hospital. So far, the
Keys community has raised $13.4 million. Fundraising
efforts are still underway for the completely new
Fishermen’s Community Hospital and we continue to
be inspired by the collaboration demonstrated by so
many members of our community to create a new
home for healthcare in the Keys.

therapists and social workers, as well as a dietitian and licensed psychologist. The unit includes all rooms,
a touch-screen interactive virtual reality platform, adaptive aids that promote functional independence,
body-weight support mobility training, pet therapy and access to a meditation garden.
HOMESTEAD HOSPITAL
DID YOU KNOW?
Homestead Hospital operates a Follow-Up Clinic at a facility in West Homestead, where patients are
referred to after they have been treated at the hospital. We are currently working toward becoming a
Federally Qualified Health Clinic (FQHC), a community-based healthcare provider that receives funds
from the Health Resources & Services Administration’s Health Center program to provide primary care in
underserved areas. This transition would allow the Follow-Up Clinic to become an established satellite site built on the Homestead
Hospital campus. The FQHC designation would also help alleviate the volume experienced in the emergency room from repeat and
non-emergent cases by redirecting patients to the clinic for lower-acuity treatment and ongoing preventive care. The Follow-Up
Clinic has undergone an expansion to improve workflow and patient care, which increases our chances of becoming an FQHC by
meeting set requirements.
FUNDRAISING AT A GLANCE
Hospital emergency departments play a growing role in the
U.S. healthcare system, accounting for a rising proportion of
hospital admissions and serving increasingly as an advanced
diagnostic center for primary care physicians. Raising funds
to support Homestead Hospital’s emergency department
improvements is essential. Philanthropy is being used to
support these improvements by funding new equipment, such
as stretchers. In addition, it will support the moving and
reconstruction of the current observation waiting area to build
a larger sub-waiting area, allowing our patients to be more
comfortable while awaiting consultation. Supporting upgrades
to the emergency department will help enhance our patients’
experience and make certain that they have access to the
latest technology and equipment.

of the project is to create an area in the center to more
quickly treat and release patients with minor illnesses and
injuries, allowing them to get home faster. Costs for such
an expansion are considerable, and as a not-for-profit
organization, we are dependent on philanthropic support
for our success and goals.
MARINERS HOSPITALWHAT’S NEW Mariners Hospital earned a five-star rating (on a scale of one to five stars) on the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS), a national, standardized, publicly reported survey of discharged patients’ perspectives of hospital care and experience. The prestigious five-star rating is a testament to our staff’s dedication to patient satisfaction. Mariners Hospital has also been named a Top Rural Hospital nationally for the third time by The Leapfrog Group, an independent watchdog organization focused on improving healthcare standards. The Leapfrog Top Hospital award recognizes achievements in patient safety and quality and is widely acknowledged as one of the most competitive honors American hospitals can receive. This prestigious award is a direct reflection of our highly skilled team’s unwavering commitment to provide high-quality, patient-centered care in the safest healthcare environment possible.
DID YOU KNOW? Baptist Health hospitals have a long-standing reputation for offering the highest-quality medical care. This reputation continues to be reinforced with Mariners Hospital achieving the Pathway to Excellence designation from the American Nurses Credentialing Center for the third year. Mariners was the first hospital in Florida to receive this designation years ago, which serves as confirmation of Mariners’ commitment to nursing excellence and an environment in which collaboration between all hospital departments is highly valued and supported. Pathway-designated organizations are deemed the best places to work for nurses, with high nurse satisfaction and retention. Research shows that healthy work environments improve not only nurse satisfaction, but also patient satisfaction and quality of care.

WHAT’S NEW
Critical Care Services at South Miami Hospital is undergoing an important renovation to
its units. The department is composed of an eight-bed intensive care unit (ICU), a 12-bed
cardiac care unit (CCU) and an eight-bed surgical intensive care unit (SICU), which accept
adult patients (18 years and older) with present or potential life-threatening medical or
surgical conditions or who require pre/post-procedure intensive care. The renovation is
providing more space for new equipment and offering families a more comfortable setting
when visiting patients. Updated, top-of-the-line equipment and technology will allow the
critical care staff to continue providing the best-quality care for our community, while a
more comfortable setting for families will ensure that they feel taken care of as well.
SOUTH MIAMI HOSPITAL
DID YOU KNOW?
The Center for Excellence in Nursing at South Miami
Hospital supports its nurses by providing continuing
education opportunities to all nursing disciplines, allowing
bedside nurses to attend conferences and bring back
innovative best practices, which can be implemented
throughout the hospital and ultimately, provide top-of-the-
line care for our patients. The creation of a Wound Boot
Camp stemmed from allowing our nurse specialists to
attend a five-day seminar, where best practices relating
to preventing pressure injuries were presented. The
information brought back from this symposium allowed
South Miami Hospital to implement national standards
of best practice relating to decreasing and eliminating
hospital-acquired pressure injuries. This year we will be
completing our second annual Boot Camp and will have
bedside staff teaching their fellow nurses.
FUNDRAISING AT A GLANCE
With a physician burnout epidemic on the rise nationwide, South Miami Hospital’s
Medical Staff Well-Being Fund is dedicated to helping doctors establish a work-life
balance and manage stress. Money raised for this fund provides our medical staff
with education, special programs and training that otherwise would not be possible
due to budget limitations. In September 2019, South Miami Hospital hosted its
Docs Rock the Runway Fashion Show fundraiser in support of the Medical Staff
Well-Being Fund.

WEST KENDALL BAPTIST HOSPITALWHAT’S NEW The Healthy West Kendall coalition challenges residents to make a personal commitment to health and wellness, with the ambitious goal of creating the Healthiest Community in Florida powered by West Kendall Baptist Hospital. One area of focus that West Kendall Baptist Hospital has identified as integral to creating a healthy community for all is the need for a Food Pharmacy. As a result, the hospital has launched a Food Pharmacy pilot program, which focuses on identifying patients who suffer from malnutrition or food insecurity. Patients are provided with a food prescription following their discharge, and are supplied with a few nourishing, balanced meals to help get them on track to a healthier life. The goal is to improve patient outcomes and educate individuals on how food can serve as medicine to one’s body and prevent readmissions.
DID YOU KNOW?
For the last seven years, West Kendall Baptist Hospital and Zoo Miami have teamed
up to host their annual ZooRun, bringing people together and helping to raise funds
and awareness for initiatives in South Florida. Participation rates continue to increase,
which is a testament to how valuable this race is to the community. The ZooRun
continues to gain traction and grow in size, attracting more participants and community
partners. The growth and enthusiasm from our participants and sponsors reaffirms
our community’s commitment to inspire those around them to live healthier and spend
quality time outdoors.
OVER 3,000 participants in the ZooRun!
FUNDRAISING AT A GLANCE
Swimming lessons are one of the best ways to prevent drowning in children. Through swimming
classes, children not only learn basic survival skills, but also learn proper swimming techniques so
that their strokes are effective, helping to conserve energy and prevent exhaustion. West Kendall
Baptist Hospital has made fundraising for swim safety an important priority. The objective is to
provide free swimming lessons to children in the community. Through a partnership with Little
Swimmers, the hospital hosts an annual swim safety day, while also working with local public schools
to educate them on the importance of swim safety. Each year, the goal is to increase the funds raised
to offer more lessons in the community for families who would otherwise be unable to afford them.

FUNDRAISING AT A GLANCE
The Stress Management and Resiliency Training (SMART) program, developed
by the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine at Massachusetts General
Hospital, is an eight-week workshop consisting of two-hour weekly group sessions
with a structured curriculum, designed to educate participants on a variety of mind-
body principles and to develop daily self-care practices aimed at managing stress
and building resilience. Miami Cancer Institute is certified to administer the SMART
mindfulness meditation training program, and the certification distinguishes the
Institute as the second cancer center in the U.S. to provide a stress management,
mind-body medicine training workshop tailored for patients with cancer.
Philanthropy is instrumental in expanding this transformative workshop to support
our cancer patients and their caregivers, as well as our physicians and staff, with
workshops held throughout the year.
MIAMI CANCER INSTITUTEWHAT’S NEW The skin cancer specialists at Miami Cancer Institute’s Multidisciplinary Skin Cancer Clinic combine the expertise of many medical disciplines to provide patients with the most comprehensive approach to screening, diagnosing and treating skin cancer. Our multidisciplinary team uses innovative technology to detect skin cancer at its earliest phase and advanced techniques for treating your specific type of skin cancer. Committed to bringing groundbreaking technology to South Florida, Miami Cancer Institute is now able to offer patients access to Vectra 360 3D Whole Body Imaging. The Institute is the only place in South Florida – and one of the few facilities in the United States – to have this system. More-traditional total-body photography involves taking photos of individual lesions over time, which can be a lengthy, anxiety-ridden procedure for patients. In contrast, the Vectra 360 can scan the entire body at once and identify the lesions on the skin.
DID YOU KNOW? The goal of Miami Cancer Institute’s Patient Navigation Program is to streamline care delivery, eliminate barriers to care and enhance the patient experience. Funded by the generous support of our donors, the Institute’s innovative patient navigation model ensures that a highly skilled nurse navigator is dedicated to patients and their caregivers, serving as a liaison and advocate from the time of diagnosis through the entire course of the cancer care. As a part of the program, patients are now receiving a New Patient Folder as soon as they begin their journey with Miami Cancer Institute. The New Patient Folder contains information for resources available at the Institute, their own medical records, their treatment plan and much more. Patients and their families use the New Patient Folder to organize care records and become more educated on what the facility offers patients.
OVER 5,000 patients received patient navigation

WHAT’S NEW
Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute is proud to welcome Joseph T. McGinn, M.D., as chief
of Cardiac Surgery. Dr. McGinn is an expert in the assessment and surgical treatment of
patients with coronary artery, aortic and valvular disease. He is particularly renowned in
minimally invasive coronary artery bypass graft surgery, for which the surgical method
he developed is known internationally as the “McGinn method.” Dr. McGinn is a proven
leader in cardiac surgery. He has established very strong teams of extraordinary
surgical and clinical expertise and will continue leading the way in providing expert and
multidisciplinary care at Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute.
MIAMI CARDIAC & VASCULAR INSTITUTE
DID YOU KNOW? With current changes in the healthcare environment, discoveries and breakthroughs in cardiovascular care will not occur without the generosity of donors to fund vitally important research. For this reason, Baptist Health Foundation launched the Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute Vision for Discovery and Innovation campaign at the end of 2017. The campaign is ongoing and represents the Institute’s determination to embark on research trials focused on new treatments, devices and methods that improve patient outcomes. So far, the campaign has raised more than $10 million of its $20 million fundraising goal. The Institute strives to advance the care and practice of medicine through research and discovery so that no one in South Florida will need to travel far for the most advanced treatments.
FUNDRAISING AT A GLANCE Physicians are an important part of successful philanthropy. Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute’s Javier Jimenez, M.D., founder of the Advanced Heart Failure & Pulmonary Hypertension Program at South Miami Hospital, has been conducting research in several areas, including understanding the genetic makeup of cardiomyopathy, exploring the physiology of cardiac and pulmonary circulation and evaluating, managing and continuing care for patients with these complicated conditions. Innovation through research is vital in the battle against heart disease, and Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute utilizes philanthropic support to support these efforts and create new and better treatments for these devastating diseases, helping to decrease symptoms and help patients live a long, active and enjoyable life.

MIAMI NEUROSCIENCE INSTITUTE
DID YOU KNOW?
During the summer of 2019, neurosurgeon Raul A. Vasquez-Castellanos, M.D., joined
Baptist Health as the new Director of Complex Spine Surgery at Miami Neuroscience
Institute. Dr. Vasquez specializes in the surgical treatment of complex spinal conditions,
including tumors, degenerative spine diseases, spinal deformities, scoliosis, kyphoscoliosis
and neurotrauma. He has unique expertise in minimally invasive techniques that result
in less pain and complications in a quicker recovery time. Simultaneously, the Center for
Spine Care, originally housed at Baptist Hospital of Miami, opened doors at
its new location – South Miami Hospital. Our spine care program offers
a multidisciplinary approach in a structured patient care center, while
ensuring a thorough consideration of both nonsurgical and surgical
treatments of pain and neurological symptoms.
FUNDRAISING AT A GLANCE
Miami Neuroscience Institute is located on the Baptist
Hospital campus. Certified by The Joint Commission, an
independent health and safety monitoring organization, Baptist
Hospital is classified as a Comprehensive Stroke Center – the
highest level of stroke certification available. Comprehensive
Stroke Center status means that Baptist Hospital has the
resources, staff and training necessary to treat patients
with the most complex strokes 24 hours a day, seven days a
week. Fundraising efforts are focused on raising funds for the
Comprehensive Stroke Center to enhance the services offered,
because every second counts after a stroke has occurred. The
Stroke Center treats more stroke patients than any other facility
in South Florida, and philanthropy will allow us to continue to
grow and help treat patients as efficiently as possible.

MIAMI ORTHOPEDICS & SPORTS MEDICINE INSTITUTEWHAT’S NEW
In August 2019, the Miami Dolphins, in partnership with Baptist Health, broke
ground on a $135 million advanced training complex and sports performance
clinic. The facility, which will also house a 30,000-square-foot site for Miami
Orthopedics & Sports Medicine Institute, is being built right next to Hard Rock
Stadium. The general public will have access to the facility, where they can meet
with Baptist Health physicians, have outpatient diagnostics run and work with our
physical therapists on rehabilitation. Aiming to serve everyone in our community,
Miami Orthopedics & Sports Medicine Institute wanted to have a presence in Miami
Gardens and offer access to world-class physicians in this growing area.
FUNDRAISING AT A GLANCE
Miami Orthopedics & Sports Medicine Institute places importance on young athletes, providing preventive
care and education, as well as treatment for repetitive motion and other injuries. Through the Youth Athletic
Outreach Program, the Institute’s medical team provides physicals and pre-participation screenings for high
school athletes in Miami-Dade County, including free EKG screenings at Baptist Medical Plaza diagnostic
centers and on-field care for varsity football games. The Miami Dolphins Foundation donated $1.5 million
to the pro bono community and outreach program fundraising initiative, allocating $300,000 for five years
to help run this program for Miami-Dade Public Schools. Philanthropy is the foundation for which Miami
Orthopedics & Sports Medicine Institute can offer top-notch access and education to these young athletes.
DID YOU KNOW?
The Miami HEAT and Miami Orthopedics & Sports Medicine Institute have teamed up
to bring world-class orthopedic care to the South Florida community on the campus
