Our Stories

Your support of the Baptist Memorial Health Care Foundation helps provide new technologies and treatments that enhance the care of patients at Baptist hospitals and other care settings throughout Memphis and the Mid-South.

But more importantly, the Foundation helps people entrusted to our care who benefit from that technology, treatment or service supported by Foundation funding. We present just a few stories here. 

Camp Good Grief: A decade of finding fun again

Since 1999, Baptist Trinity Hospice, through a grant from the Baptist Memorial Health Care Foundation, has been offering Camp Good Grief to help counsel children who have lost a loved one.

The goal of the free annual camp is to give children an enjoyable, accepting and supportive environment where they can freely express their feelings about the loss of a loved one.
