Baptist Health Named One of the 100 Best Places to Work in Healthcare by Modern Healthcare Magazine

Jacksonville, Florida, September 22, 2008 - On September 8, 2008,
Baptist Health was named among Modern Healthcare magazine's "100 Best
Places to Work in Healthcare." The list ranking will be published in the
October 27, 2008, edition of Modern Healthcare and is available online
at www.ModernHealthcare.com/bestplacestowork.

Baptist Health was the only health care organization in Northeast
Florida to be named on the magazine's "100 Best Places to Work in
Healthcare," and one of only six in Florida.

"Modern Healthcare's 'Best Places to Work in Healthcare' program
identifies and recognizes healthcare organizations that have
successfully built workplace excellence and enabled employees to perform
at their optimal level," says Fawn Lopez, publisher of Modern
Healthcare.

"We are honored to be named among some of the best health care
organizations in the country as a great place to work," says Hugh
Greene, president and CEO of Baptist Health. "We value our employees and
recognize that they are the reason for our success and our reputation as
the most preferred health care provider in Northeast Florida."

Modern Healthcare established this program to nationally recognize
outstanding employers in the healthcare industry. The program collected
information from both the employer and employees and was open to all
health care-related companies (providers, suppliers, payers,
associations, etc.) with at least 25 employees. Employers completed a
survey detailing company policies, practices, benefits and demographics.
Employees were asked questions in eight areas: leadership and planning,
culture and communications, role satisfaction, working environment,
relationship with supervisor, training and development, pay and benefits
and overall satisfaction.

"Whether caregivers are at the bedside or support those who are, it is
our people who have helped us achieve this honor," says Beth Mehaffey,
vice president of Human Resources for Baptist Health.
