The pharmacy also carries a gift department with fashions for mom and baby, collegiate items, seasonal decor, candles, and jewelry, along with a monogram machine and free gift wrap, plus a scrub department with brands including Figs, Urbane, and Cherokee. A chapel and prayer room on the first floor is open to visitors of all faiths from 8:00 a.m. until 4:30 p.m., and patient representatives are available to help with needs, problems, or concerns.

The Volunteer Auxiliary began in 1982, when each charter member gave from their heart to serve patients and visitors. Volunteers, who may be anyone over the age of 18, comfort patients and guests who are alone, deliver flowers and cards, welcome and escort visitors, staff information desks, and provide clerical help to hospital staff. After 30 hours of service and a minimum of 4 hours per week, volunteers receive a complimentary membership to the fitness center, a cafeteria meal coupon, and a free annual flu shot.

Baptist Hospital has built an established track record on a large base of customer reviews. For patients and families across Meridian, that record reflects a hospital offering a broad range of medical services close to home.
