At one of Florida’s top-ranked hospitals, Kyle’s leadership is a reminder that in healthcare, everyone is a care provider—and culture starts at the top.

✅ Culture Is Built Daily: From hiring to team rituals, Baptist South embeds values into every layer of the organization.
✅ Relationships Come First: In the first 90 days, new leaders are encouraged to focus on listening and building trust before results.
