Baptist Memorial Health Care

Baptist Memorial Health Care Baptist Memorial Health Care is one of the countryโ€™s largest not-for-profit health care systems and the largest provider of Medicaid in the region.

Baptist Memorial comprises 24 affiliate hospitals in Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee. Regarded as one of the premier health care systems in the nation, Baptist Memorial Health Care is an award-winning network dedicated to providing compassionate, high-quality care for patients. With 14 affiliate hospitals throughout the Mid-South, Baptist combines convenience with excellence of care โ€” two reas

ons we have been named among the top health care systems in the country for several years. With the intention of caring for people close to their homes, the Baptist system also offers more than 3,100 affiliated physicians; home, hospice and psychiatric care; minor medical clinics; a network of surgery, rehabilitation and other outpatient centers; and an education system highlighted by the Baptist College of Health Sciences. Since our modest beginning in 1912 with a 150-bed hospital, Baptist has grown to meet the expanding needs of the communities we serve, at one point becoming the largest privately owned hospital in the nation. But what has remained is the same caring atmosphere that inspired our founders. From our kitchen staff and office personnel to our experienced medical staff and renowned clinical services, that pervasive spirit of caring inspires every area of operation at Baptist.

๐Ÿ’™ The future of heart care in Memphis!

Doctors at Baptist Memorial Hospital-Memphis recently implanted a paperclip-sized sensor in the pulmonary artery of a patient to monitor artery pressure. The device connects to a pillow-like device that transmits post-procedure stats to a nurse who then monitors the patient in real time.

The device notifies medical staff of worsening heart symptoms early, allowing physicians to intervene sooner to improve outcomes and quality of life.

Baptist Memphis is the first hospital in Tennessee to use the CardioMEMS HERO monitoring pillow.
