Nursing Excellence

Nursing ExcellenceBaptist Health Foundation provides funds annually to support all of the nursing programs from education to certification. This campaign will offer ways to support our nurses in 5 categories in the field of nursing:


  1. Awards and Recognition— The nursing excellence award recognizes nurses who epitomize the Baptist Health vision, mission, and values.  The Daisy Awards are awarded to nurses by nominations from patients and family members.
  2. Education—Baptist Health Schools Little Rock has the largest diploma based RN program in the state of Arkansas.  We strive to keep our admissions open to as many qualified students as possible.  Funding scholarships is essential in the development of our new talent.
  3. Technology— Provide equipment.  
  4. Certification—nursing certification underscores our commitment to care.  The American Board of Nursing Specialties defines certification as “the formal recognition of specialized knowledge, skills, and experience demonstrated by the achievement of standards identified by a nursing specialty to promote optimal health outcomes.”
  5. Continuous Education—Through continuing education programs, workshops, computer-based learning modules and seminars, we intend to strengthen our team of nurses.


Grateful Patient Program


Heartfelt Thanks

Heartfelt Thanks
The Heartfelt Thanks program allows grateful patients and family members the opportunity to pay tribute to their special care giver-- the individual or group of individuals who made the difference in their stay at the hospital-- and to support Baptist Health.

Care givers will receive the following through your donation to the Foundation:

  • A letter from the Foundation informing them that a donation was made in their honor through the Heartfelt Thanks program.
  • A Heartfelt Thanks logo Pin to wear.
  • Acknowledgement to their supervisor stating they have been a recipient of the award.
  • Recognition in our Annual Listing of all Heartfelt Thanks Honorees.
  • The opportunity to say Thank you back to the patient through an addressed postcard that they will have the opportunity to personalize.

This is your opportunity to acknowledge the exceptional care you received and support Baptist Health.
