For Today and Future Generations….

For God is good; his loving-kindness endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations (Psalm 100:5). What a wonderful promise! These few words remind us that God is always our ultimate source of love, joy, peace, healing and strength. God’s love and mercy never fails
Though we experience various kinds of transitions throughout our lives, we can always count on God’s Word and God’s faithfulness. Businesses, governments, communities of faith and health care institutions are not exempt from going through similar life-changing transitions. Being mindful of the necessity for change, we want to acknowledge God’s goodness and faithfulness through our own transition. Please join us as we give thanks to God for this moment in time as Brookwood Medical Center and the Baptist Health System recognize the need to set a new course together as Brookwood Baptist Health. We are excited about the unlimited possibilities to maximize our resources and continue to provide treatment and care for you and your family. We still believe in caring for “the least of these” in our communities and beyond. And we still believe in offering holistic health care — a place where we care for the whole person: physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.
The passage above is a reminder of God’s constant goodness, love and faithfulness to all generations. Brookwood Medical Center and the Baptist Health System have provided compassionate health care for several generations, and this will remain constant. The compassionate, personalized care you already know is now backed by an even larger community of care with locations across central Alabama.
May God’s healing love and peace be with you all,
Gary
