Promote-From-Within Policy

As an organization, Baptist Health is committed to providing opportunities for internal transfer and promotion. Existing employees are familiar with our unique culture, and will always be considered for open positions if they possess the qualifications, experience and abilities to do the job. Our "Grow Our Own" initiative is designed precisely for this purpose – to develop and manage our internal talent and succession plans by providing quality people with continuous opportunities for career advancement.
