March 10 is officially "International Day of Awesomeness" and little patients at our Baptist Children's Hospital received an AWESOME surprise thanks to the generosity of local businessman and Baptist Health System Board of Trustee Manny Ruiz. Thanks to Manny Ruiz and his team for donating hundreds of plush teddy bears of all sizes to Baptist Children's Hospital!

Colorectal screening saves lives - 90% of people who get screened for colon cancer and detect it early can prevent and beat it. They’re typically about 45 minutes - like taking a quick nap. 😴
We honor the trailblazers who transformed healthcare – pioneers like Florence Nightingale, Clara Barton, Elizabeth Blackwell and Rebecca Lee Crumpler, whose courage and compassion opened doors for generations to come.
We’re proud to carry their legacy forward through the incredible women who serve our patients and community every day.
