Building a Healthier Community Through Education and Prevention

Providing quality care and service excellence to communities served are not limited to a hospital or health care facility setting. We strive to improve the health of our community through free health screenings, support groups and educational seminars and reaching out to special populations. Annually Baptist provides more than 75 free screening events throughout northwest Florida and south Alabama. Screenings focus on some of our communities’ most critical health concerns including diabetes, heart disease, prostate and skin cancer and obesity.

In addition to health screenings, Baptist makes an effort to improve the community’s health through education and prevention by meeting a broad range of community health education needs. Seminars include disease risk and awareness, medication training and support, fitness, mental health, pool and beach safety, and general health and wellness for the mind, body and spirit. Many educational seminars are designed to reach special populations such as seniors and targeted ethnic groups.

With more than 14 support groups, Baptist helps its patients’ meet life’s health care challenges head-on. Whether a person is battling cancer or living with diabetes, Baptist Health Care and its affiliates provide group support to meet patient needs.
