Guptas donate to Baptist Health Care Foundation to name new diagnostic imaging center
Amit Gupta, M.D., his wife, Shruti, and their family have made a major gift to support the new Baptist Hospital campus, scheduled to open fall 2023. The foundation will name the diagnostic imaging center in honor of Dr. Gupta’s parents, Girish S. and Vimu G. Gupta.
While Dr. Gupta is not an employee of Baptist Hospital, he has served as an independent member of its medical staff since 1997.
The Guptas’ compassion and desire to help others stems from their Indian culture and strong family values. Growing up they learned that giving back is essential and said they are grateful to their parents for teaching them the value of selflessness. They hope their gift inspires others to give.
