August 7, 2018, South Florida PBS, in partnership with Baptist Health South Florida, announced the launch of their new Health Channel. On the air, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, the Health Channel, All Health All the Time is the only 24/7 health and medical TV channel in the nation.
 
The Health Channel provides easy and quick access to Baptist Health medical experts who can answer viewers’ questions on health and wellness concerns. A wide range of issues are addressed, including child psychology, care for the aging, health insurance, breast cancer, orthopedic and sports injuries, medical breakthroughs, and heart health, among many others. 
 
“Nationwide, there is increasing concern about access to medical experts and information. Our diverse and growing South Florida communities are particularly impacted by this concern.

We are pleased and privileged to partner with Baptist Health South Florida in this unique and pioneering initiative,” stated CEO and President of South Florida PBS, Dolores Sukhdeo.
