Within the Miami Freedom Park district, fans will enjoy the Baptist Health Sports Fields and the Baptist Health Family Fan Zone on Inter Miami CF matchdays, creating dynamic spaces for play, connection, and community engagement. Baptist Health and Inter Miami CF will host a variety of events designed to promote healthy living and community connection. The partnership underscores both organizations’ commitment to making a meaningful impact in South Florida and reinforces Baptist Health as a leader in healthcare. 

“Baptist Health is committed to providing exceptional health care and serving our community, especially in partnership with organizations, such as Inter Miami CF, that share our values,” said Bo Boulenger, president and CEO of Baptist Health. “We are proud to provide world-class sports medicine and orthopedic care for the Inter Miami CF players and organization. Miami and all of South Florida are excited for the opening of the new stadium, and we look forward to continuing this partnership which allows us to connect with fans and families, bringing health initiatives directly to the community.”

As Inter Miami moves to Miami Freedom Park in April, Baptist Health will continue to be the presenting partner of Inter Miami’s Baptist Health Community Field in Fort Lauderdale adjacent to Inter Miami CF Stadium, providing recreational access to local athletes. Baptist Health and Inter Miami CF also look forward to expanding their community impact through local initiatives aimed at bringing health and wellness to the forefront of community care. With a shared commitment to creating positive change, some of the initiatives Inter Miami and Baptist Health are proud to have executed include celebrating Nurses Appreciation Week, having First Team players visit Baptist Health patients receiving treatment, and hosting Breast Cancer Awareness Night presented by Baptist in the month of November at an Inter Miami CF home match.
