P. 2
It is a privilege to have the opportunity to work with donors like you, as well as the incredible leaders and community volunteers who serve Baptist Health and Wolfson Children’s. They are an integral part of our community, and they rely on the support of you, our neighbors and our friends. We are humbled to be a part of your philanthropic generosity.
The Legacy Report was created to highlight Baptist Health Foundation’s endowments and the benefit these endowments bring to our health system. They provide much-needed security and support, as well as allow our donors to create their own legacies within the hospitals they love so much.
We are pleased to report that the endowment has grown to an astounding $301 million as of September 30, 2024, and we are particularly grateful to those who have included us in their estate plans, as this is particularly critical to the future of our organization.
The entire Baptist Health Foundation Board is eager to see what’s ahead and with your thoughtful support, we are positioned for continued growth and advancement toward a lifetime of health, together.

Dear Friends of Baptist Health,
On behalf of Baptist Health and Wolfson Children’s Hospital, I want to extend our deepest gratitude for your generous gifts to the health system’s endowment. Your commitment is truly inspiring, and we are immensely grateful for your support. In addition, I want to thank those individuals who have provided for Baptist Health and Wolfson Children’s Hospital in their estate plans. Future support is so important to the long-term viability of our health system, and we are continually grateful.
Endowments not only help us achieve our immediate goals but also ensure that we can continue to make a difference for our patients and families for years to come. They play crucial roles in sustaining and enhancing our work and ensure that we have the resources to continue to grow our initiatives, ultimately benefiting countless individuals.
To illustrate the impact of an endowment, look no further than the highlights on the adjacent page. It is through the support of dedicated and generous investors like you that we can continue to make lasting impacts like this on our community.
Our Foundation’s Legacy Report provides an annual update for you to see the value of our endowments, as well as the amount available for spending on October 1, the start of our fiscal year. After reviewing the publication, if you prefer a specific summary of your endowment’s activity, please feel free to reach out to us, Foundation@bmcjax.com, 904-202-2919.
