Paying It Forward

Simone Cheong, a registered nurse and Magnet program director at West Kendall Baptist Hospital, has been caring for others, both professionally and personally, for decades She began giving to Baptist Health causes when she started as an oncology nurse at South Miami Hospital in 1995, and later chaired a Baptist Health fundraising program that supported an array of projects across the organization.

Today Simone is a member of Baptist Health Foundation’s Giving Society, supporting the Center for Excellence in Nursing at West Kendall Baptist Hospital. “This center helps fund equipment not otherwise budgeted that can benefit patient care,” she says. “It also helps nurses attend professional nursing conferences to learn, grow and bring back best practices ”

Simone believes in giving to Baptist Health because of the qualities that set it apart: its faithbased mission, high moral and ethical standards, visionary leaders – and always doing what is right for those it serves “Baptist Health is a steady source of healthcare the community has come to trust,” she says.
