"Early in my nursing career, I applied for a position at Baptist hospital after being told it was the 'best hospital in Louisville.' While the name and location have changed over the years, one thing remains the same - it's still the best hospital. What sets us apart is the caring spirit of our employees who strive daily to make patients and their families feel better. That's what's kept me here for more than 30 years. I encourage you to join us."

Sue Stout Tamme
President, Baptist Hospital East

"Nursing is often described as both an art and a science. Nurses at Baptist East reflect the best of both.  They are committed to outstanding patient care demonstrating clinical excellence, compassion, and caring.  Our relationship with patients and families is a sacred and holy trust to be cherished."

Karen Profitt Newman
Vice President, Baptist Hospital East

“Baptist East has extremely top-notch nursing. Everyone works as a team and is very close-knit. That’s one of the reasons I’ve stayed and grown in the organization – everyone is so friendly, helpful and dedicated. Everyone is always open to the newest thing and willing to change. As nurse manager, I am the one bringing this change into the environment. It makes my job easier to help them grow in the whole healthcare spectrum.”

Nicole Seraphine, R.N.

“The difference in nursing I see here at Baptist East is our culture of caring. I think that comes from the top (President Sue Stout Tamme who is a registered nurse.) I think having nurses in those types of positions gives our hospital an advantage.”
