Education is highly valued by this health-care network. Its Baptist Health University offers 2,357 courses on clinical, administrative, leadership and personal development topics, and its School at Work program helps entry-level employees move toward a new certificate or degree. Registered nurses who work in patient care can go from novice to expert with the Professional Nurse Advancement program, which quantifies their accomplishments and gradually ups their pay. Mentoring and coaching are available to managers and executives. Parents and their kids ages 8 to 12 learn together at the Families Step Up class, which emphasizes proper nutrition and exercise.
