Starting Jan. 1, 2026, Baptist Memorial Health Care and Stern Cardiovascular moved to a new working structure.
Stern, previously a Baptist-employed clinic, has transitioned to an independent clinic model, but will continue to work closely with Baptist Memorial hospitals and their providers.
The change in Baptist and Stern’s relationship will be imperceptible to patients.
As part of this new partnership, the community will benefit from expanded cardiology services, offering patients enhanced access to specialized care. Stern’s team of cardiologists will continue to work alongside Baptist Memorial hospitals to provide comprehensive diagnostic and treatment options.
Stern has 10 locations in Tennessee, Mississippi and Arkansas.
