Baptist Health invites you and your family to embark on a journey of health and wellness through the delicious foods that grow here in South Florida and on our very own campuses. Even before the first seeds were sown at our first Grow2Heal garden at Homestead Hospital in 2014, Baptist Health had eliminated trans fats and deep-fried foods and re-evaluated portion size, along with many other efforts, for all our menu offerings.

Small, simple steps push forth the Baptist Health Food Philosophy that has become an essential guide to preventive healthcare through nutrition for our community and staff.

We hope this publication will inspire you to make delicious lifestyle changes that improve and enhance your lives. Baptist Health is excited to lead you on this journey to create a sustainable, healthier, happier you!


Look how our gardens are growing!

Here’s a peek at what Grow2Heal has been up to at Homestead Hospital, West Kendall Baptist Hospital, South Miami Hospital, Doctors Hospital and our newest addition — Baptist Hospital in collaboration with Miami Cancer Institute. This past year gave us an opportunity to reconnect with our environments by being outdoors, touching the earth and planting food that nourishes and keeps us healthy. Next year will bring even more opportunities to sow our seeds of health and wellness throughout Baptist Health. If you have joined us on this journey, you can share your stories by emailing Grow2Heal@BaptistHealth.net.
