Baptist Health has always been committed to the highest standards of individual and organizational ethical and legal conduct. This commitment reflects our belief that the best way to fulfill our Mission is for personnel and representatives to be honest, ethical, and fair in all business practices and in personal behavior.

The Baptist Health Compliance Program was established in 1998. The Program was amended in 2006, 2018, and again in 2025 with approval from Baptist Health's Board of Directors reaffirming our commitment and adherence to ethical and legal standards. 

Baptist Health's Compliance Program is designed to:

• Communicate Baptist Health's commitment to compliance with laws, regulations, and ethical business practices;
• Familiarize personnel, contractors, agents, and medical staff members with the standards of behavior expected in the workplace;
• Promote the prevention, detection, and resolution of illegal or unethical conduct.
