"Habitat and Baptist Health join to build homes for the holidays" -Miami's Community Newspapers

Dozens of employees from Baptist Health South Florida volunteered many hours of their time to give three fellow employees the grandest gift of all for the holidays — a home.

The grateful employees received the keys to their new homes during a recent house dedication ceremony in Homestead, marking the 19th home built and sponsored by Baptist Health South Florida for Habitat for Humanity of Greater Miami.

“There is no greater gift we can give these deserving employees and their families,” said Brian Keeley, president and CEO for Baptist Health South Florida. “Baptist Health South Florida is very proud of the long standing relationship with Habitat for Humanity. It is extremely rewarding to give back to our employees in such a big way.”

Williams, who works in the hospital’s surgery department, will live in his new home along with his wife, Rose, and their daughter.
