20 Really Good People
The time he’s given to Baptist Health Foundation, first as a board member and now as its board chairman, is something that hits close to home for Cleve Warren.
“Growing up in Jacksonville, having children who have been treated at Wolfson Children’s Hospital, having a granddaughter who was delivered at Baptist South, I step into the role as serving on this Foundation Board or the hospital system board with knowledge about what Baptist Health is to the community and, more particularly, what it has been to me and my family,” said Warren.
In addition to serving as Chair of the Foundation Board, Warren also serves on Baptist Health’s system board and on its finance committee. This has provided him with a unique perspective on just how great an impact the Foundation – and its donors – has on the health system and, by extension, its patients.
“What I have found is the foundation is purposeful, intentional about its commitment to outreach to the community, one to provide knowledge and two, to not be shy about asking for help,” Warren said. “We can’t do it all on internal resources and the philanthropic community has been very, very diligent about assisting with those needs.”
Through Baptist Health Foundation, Warren sees firsthand what the power of giving can do for a community.
“I’m proud to be there, quite frankly,” he added.
