How to Transfer or Admit a Patient to the Spence & Becky Wilson Baptist Children’s Hospital

The Baptist Patient Placement Center is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and can be reached by calling a toll-free number, 1-844-BMH-BEDS (1-844-264-2337), from outside a Baptist hospital and H-BEDS (4-2337) from inside a Baptist hospital. 

This recorded line is for direct admitting a patient to the Pediatric Inpatient Unit, Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, NICU, or to transfer to the Pediatric Emergency Room.  The Patient Placement Center will establish bed availability, connect to an accepting provider and dispatch the Pediatric transport team if needed.
