Health and healing is everyone’s responsibility. Each person residing in or visiting Escambia and Santa Rosa counties deserves access to convenient, quality health care. We are committed to delivering safe, quality health care, regardless of a patient’s ability to pay. Patient welfare is Baptist Health Care’s No.1 priority.

Baptist Health Care follows the most recently published federal poverty guidelines when assessing a patient’s ability to pay. Charity care is defined as free care or discounted care given to persons deemed unable to pay based on established financial assistance policies.

In 2009, Baptist Health Care provided an estimated total combined (charity care and Medicaid) community benefit of almost $30 million. In addition, Baptist Health Care social workers assisted patients with medication, transportation and other discharge needs that exceeded $184,000. Baptist Health Care also provided an additional $62,207 for durable medical equipment and home health services.

Our genuine, expert team of caregivers strives to create healthier communities.
