What Baptist Health does

Baptist Health is a not-for-profit regional healthcare system headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, founded in 1924 and operating 9 hospitals with more than 2,700 licensed beds alongside 470+ points of care spanning Kentucky, southern Indiana, and Illinois.

The technology stack is anchored by a systemwide Epic electronic health record with MyChart patient portal and EpicCare Link for external providers, the MyHealth mobile application, a Twilio-powered virtual care platform (eVisits at flat $30 per asynchronous questionnaire, 24/7 urgent care video visits, and scheduled video visits), Remote Patient Monitoring integrated with MyChart Care Companion, Microsoft DAX Copilot ambient AI documentation used by 300+ providers under an internal AI Enablement Center, TytoCare remote examination devices (partnership ending April 1, 2026), Hicuity advanced ICU telehealth, and a multi-platform robotic surgery program including the ION system. Verato provides master data management to support AI-ready transformation.

Baptist Health generates revenue primarily through fee-for-service hospital and clinical billing across in-person and virtual encounters, with insurance billed for most services and patient co-pays per plan terms; the direct-to-consumer eVisit channel is a flat $30 cash-pay model outside insurance. Distribution is delivered through owned hospitals, employed physician practices, urgent care, surgery centers, home care, occupational medicine, school-based telehealth, and a Founders/Founding Partner relationship with Inter Miami CF supporting brand reach beyond the core Kentucky/Indiana footprint. Strategic capital is being deployed into the Sellersburg ER/urgent care joint venture with Intuitive Health ($40 million), Sunrise Hospital construction, eTown medical offices, a Hospital at Home program, a Brooks Rehabilitation partnership, and a $5 million Kosair for Kids NICU expansion, signaling continued facility and care-setting expansion.
