Baptist frequently receives memorial and honor gifts from the public through the Baptist Health Foundation. To make donating easier, Baptist has established on-line giving through its website, www.mbhs.org/foundation, using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology, which is the industry standard to keep private information secure.

(PRWEB) October 24, 2006 -- Speech Therapist Mary Lou Sorey works in the Baptist Outpatient Pediatric Rehabilitation, a division of Baptist Medical Center in Jackson, Miss., treating cerebral palsy and developmentally delayed children. Parents of these special-needs children often find it difficult to continue using the needed therapeutic techniques in their homes, which can make it harder to reinforce their child's learning.

Through donations to the Baptist Health Foundation, outpatient rehab was recently able to purchase "augmentative communication devices" and "positioning equipment" which enhance the patients' communication skills and fine motor skill development. Now, parents can check out the needed devices through outpatient rehab's lending library and help their child improve skills in the home.
