In 1958, a New England Baptist Hospital tradition was started by Carl J.B. Currie, a trustee, patient, and major benefactor of the Hospital. During his tenure at the Baptist, Mr. Currie noted that while many patients received flowers from friends and family, some did not. To ensure that every patient felt cared for, he established the Carl J.B. and Olive Currie Rose Fund to give every New England Baptist Hospital patient a red rose of welcome. Each day since this tradition started, New England Baptist Hospital has welcomed every inpatient and surgical outpatient with a single red rose. The New England Baptist Hospital rose has come to symbolize the Hospital's commitment to individualized care and legendary service. Legendary service at the Baptist permeates all aspects of our organization. Our physicians and staff are committed to treating our patients, their families, and each other with warmth, dignity and respect.
