Baptist Health South Florida

What Baptist Health South Florida does

Baptist Health South Florida is a nonprofit regional healthcare system founded in 1960 and headquartered in Coral Gables, Florida (Firmographics list 1990; multiple primary sources, including the company's own history and the 66-year operating reference, indicate 1960). It is the largest healthcare system in South Florida, operating 12 hospitals and more than 200 outpatient centers across Miami-Dade, Monroe, Broward, and Palm Beach counties, with a reported headcount of 10,000+. Named facilities under the corporate umbrella include Baptist Hospital, Bethesda Hospital, Doctors Hospital, Homestead Hospital, Mariners Hospital, South Miami Hospital, West Kendall Baptist Hospital, the Herbert Wertheim Cancer Institute (formerly Miami Cancer Institute), and the Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute. The system is led by President & CEO Bo Boulenger and supported by a separate Baptist Health Foundation that channels philanthropy.

The clinical portfolio spans more than 100 specialties delivered through the wholly owned Baptist Health Medical Group physician network, advanced diagnostics (PET, CT, MRI, 3D mammography), robotic and complex surgery, proton therapy at the cancer institute, and academic programs through Baptist Health Academics in partnership with Florida International University's Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine. Digital access is delivered through the PineApp mobile application, which provides 24/7 video consultations with licensed providers, appointment management, and medical records retrieval. International services operate under Baptist Health International, including a Joint Commission International–accredited PET/CT imaging center in the Cayman Islands (opened 2019) and an MOU with Bahamas Wellness Health System for teleconsultation and professional training. Limited AI/ML capability is documented in the form of AI-assisted simulation software used during the design of the FIU Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine campus; no proprietary clinical AI models are disclosed.

Baptist Health South Florida generates revenue primarily through patient care services billed via insurance, supplemented by philanthropic donations (notably a $100M gift from Dr. Herbert Wertheim in May 2026 and a $30M gift from Helen and Jacob Shaham) and revenue from clinical research partnerships including early-phase oncology trials with The START Center for Cancer Research. Direct-to-patient channels include the PineApp platform, the owned hospital-and-outpatient network, and a referral agreement with Amazon One Medical (effective August 2026) that channels approximately 900,000 Amazon Prime members in South Florida to Baptist Health specialists. The patient base is anchored in South Florida residents but is extending to Caribbean and international patients and to the Amazon-Prime-affiliated cohort, and the system is positioning its cancer institute to pursue National Cancer Institute designation.
