Baptist Health

Media Relations

Healthcare is an evolving industry, and throughout the years Baptist Health has met the growing needs of the community. As we look forward to serving the people of Montgomery, that includes the media.

Our Marketing & Communications Department serves as a center for all journalists looking for information about our hospitals, physicians, employees, services or patients. Our public relations coordinator can provide you with ideas, as well as experts that can discuss the latest healthcare information, policies, education and research.

To contact our public relations department, please call Melody Ragland, marketing coordinator, at 334-273-4389 or 334-451-0814.

Should you need to photograph or speak with someone at a Baptist Health facility, we require that a member of our department escort you through our facilities. This helps protect the privacy of our patients and makes it easier for you to locate your contact.

Baptist Health follows the guidelines instituted by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. Any patients interviewed for media purposes must fill out an authorization form. Questions regarding the condition of a patient will not be released without the patient’s consent.
