Baptist Memorial Health Care

What Baptist Memorial Health Care does

Baptist Memorial Health Care is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit health system founded in 1912 and headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee. Following the March 2026 merger with Arkansas Methodist Medical Center and the earlier acquisition of OCH Regional Medical Center, the system operates 25 hospitals and an expanding network of clinics, specialty centers, and educational institutions across Tennessee, Arkansas, and Mississippi. The organization reported revenue of $4.9 billion in fiscal year 2025.

The system's service portfolio spans the full continuum of care, anchored by acute care delivered through 22 Baptist Memorial hospitals, an integrated 13-center Baptist Cancer Center, the Spence and Becky Wilson Baptist Children's Hospital, the Newborn Intensive Care Unit at Baptist Memorial Hospital for Women, Baptist Heart Institute, Baptist Women's Health Center, and Baptist Reynolds Hospice House. Complementary programs include the Baptist Centers for Good Grief (bereavement services in Collierville, Memphis, and Jonesboro) and Baptist Operation Outreach, which delivers free acute and primary care to homeless populations in Memphis via a fixed site and mobile unit.

Revenue is generated primarily through patient care services across the hospital, clinic, and specialty network, supplemented by charitable donations to the Baptist Memorial Health Care Foundation. The system's go-to-market is direct service delivery to patients and communities, supported by annual fundraising events such as Sporting Clays for Cancer, Art of Caring, Cardiac Classic, Miles 4 Milla, and Courage Thru Cancer 5K. Education is delivered through Baptist Health Sciences University and the new Baptist University College of Osteopathic Medicine (BUCOM), creating an internal pipeline for allied health professionals and physicians. The leadership team is led by President and CEO Jason Little, with Zachary Chandler as Chief Strategy Officer, Gregory M. Duckett as Chief Legal Officer, and Robbie Johnson heading the Foundation as Chief Development Officer.
