Endowed Chairs

An endowed chair is one of the most prestigious awards that can be bestowed on a physician for outstanding contributions to medical science.

Endowed chairs play a pivotal role in shaping the future of healthcare. An endowment represents a significant investment in enhancing patient care, innovation, research and education.

Endowed chairs provide stable and dependable sources of funding, and are essential to attracting and retaining visionary physicians. They create a legacy that is far-reaching and transformative by elevating patient care through a culture of inquiry, curiosity and critical thinking. They attract leaders who mentor and inspire the next generation of practitioners and create a supportive environment that enables healthcare professionals to push the boundaries of knowledge and exploration.

Endowed chairs are an investment in the future and they represent a profound commitment to the health and well-being of our community.

Endowed Chairs

Baptist Health Foundation is committed to honoring the tradition and importance of endowed chairs in elevating medical excellence. As an endowed chair recipient, a physician has the great honor and responsibility of advancing Baptist Health's impact through research and service.
