Join Baptist Health and the American Hospital Association as we celebrate National Hospital Week, May 7-13, a time to show appreciation for the more than 5.6 million hospital employees across the country.

As the nation’s largest healthcare event, National Hospital Week dates back to 1921, when a magazine editor suggested a community-wide celebration as a way to alleviate public fears about hospitals and promote trust and goodwill. Launched in Chicago, the celebration eventually spread across the nation.

From providing vital medical care to running outreach and educational programs, Baptist Health is committed to supporting health and well-being in the communities we serve throughout Kentucky and southern Indiana. We applaud the efforts of everyone who serves inside our hospitals and outpatient centers, as well as all those who work to support our mission to provide compassionate, exceptional care.
