Job Description

Baptist Health is the largest not-for-profit healthcare organization in the region, renowned for its comprehensive network that includes 12 hospitals, over 29,000 employees, 4,500 physicians, and 200 outpatient centers, urgent care facilities, and physician practices spread across Miami-Dade, Monroe, Broward, and Palm Beach counties. This expansive network is supported by philanthropy and guided by a faith-based mission committed to medical excellence. With internationally recognized centers of excellence in cancer, cardiovascular care, orthopedics and sports medicine, and neurosciences, Baptist Health has secured a prestigious position in the community and in the healthcare industry. For 26 consecutive years, it has been named one of Fortune's 100 Best Companies to Work For. Moreover, in the 2025-2026 U.S. News & World Report Best Hospital Rankings, Baptist Health stood out as the most awarded healthcare system in South Florida, earning 63 high-performing honors.

What truly sets Baptist Health apart is its people. The organization fosters personal connections among colleagues that go beyond the workplace and builds meaningful relationships with patients and their families, emphasizing compassionate, patient-centered care. Many team members have personal experiences as patients themselves, which enriches their commitment to quality and compassion. Baptist Health’s culture is deeply rooted in its sense of purpose, where each employee plays a vital role in making a positive impact. The organization is committed to supporting employees throughout their career journeys, both personally and professionally, guided by a "grow our own" philosophy which encourages career growth and development with clear pathways and ongoing support. This commitment extends to comprehensive health and wellness resources that surpass traditional benefits, including a wellness program designed to reduce out-of-pocket healthcare costs by helping employees eliminate their medical plan deductible, and tuition reimbursement opportunities to support continuous learning and advancement.

The role calls for a leadership style that embodies the values and culture of Baptist Health South Florida, focusing on quality, safety, service, knowledge, and diversity. The ideal candidate will possess eagerness and enthusiasm to motivate and engage the food services team, setting operational standards with support from the Operations Manager or Director, implementing quality improvements, and effectively communicating them.

This is an exceptional opportunity for culinary professionals with healthcare experience to be part of a highly respected organization that values growth, wellness, and service excellence.
