About Central Baptist Hospital
At Central Baptist Hospital, our mission is to enhance the physical, spiritual and emotional health of the people we serve by providing quality and compassionate health services consistent with our Christian heritage.
We provide care that meets the needs of the whole person for a lifetime. It's why we put as much emphasis on healthy lifestyles and prevention as we do on medical technology. And it's why we pay as much attention to the personal and psychological needs of our patients and families as we pay to diagnosis and treatment.
We go the extra mile to serve our patients and our community. We treat every situation as a precious opportunity for special acts of kindness, care and understanding. Physicians and staff at Central Baptist Hospital believe this and live it every day. We know that when someone really cares, it does make a difference.
The vision of Central Baptist Hospital is to be innovators in delivery of health services, anticipating and responding to a changing healthcare environment through collaborative models that are outcome driven, financially responsible, and suppportive of our mission.
Central Baptist Hospital will fulfill its Christ-centered mission and acheive our vision guided by our values: Intregrity, Hospitality, Partnership, Stewardship and Excellence.
