I am proud of the opportunity to serve in an organization like Baptist Health. Our mission, belief, and vision have helped guide us through constant change. This commitment is demonstrated through our care of patients, families, and staff. Walking through the halls, I am encouraged by biblical verses that show this is more than a workplace—it is a ministry.

The mission of Baptist Health is to provide quality patient services and respond to the changing health needs of Arkansans with Christian compassion. We must be committed to continuous improvement and best practices to accomplish this mission.

An example of a corporation dedicated to excellence is Chick-fil-a. One of its managers once said, “I feel like I’m running a leadership development academy masquerading as a fast-food restaurant.” Great leaders are committed to developing adaptable leaders who can help with the change. An example of this at Baptist Health has been its commitment to creating new leaders and team members with new skills to help us continue addressing health care needs.

Baptist Health is more than a business. We are a healing ministry. At the heart of ministry is service to others. We are committed to being faithful stewards of our time, talents, and treasures. We believe in also providing healing and services to all who need it. We want to model the ministry of Christ who said he did not come for those who are well but for those who are sick.

A great example of this healing ministry occurred on the National Day of Prayer. We want to support every patient and family through prayer, and on that day many staff members volunteered their free time to attend to patients’ rooms and offer prayers. Patients and families appreciated this event to receive care from an organization that honored spiritual health.

Finally, Baptist Health’s vision is to continue to improve the health of Arkansans by changing the way health care is delivered. A commitment to improving the health of Arkansans means a commitment to those who can come to our doors and bring better health to the community. We have worked hard to make more access points and health education to improve overall health.

At the heart of the Gospel is the incarnational ministry of Jesus. John 3:16 reminds us, “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

We believe that our healing presence is not demonstrated just through our words but our willingness to go and serve the needs of others.
