BBH is a non-profit mission institution affiliated with the Association of Fundamental Baptist Churches in the Philippines (AFBCP).

The hospital was founded from a small medical building established about 1946-1948 by two Association of Baptists for World Evangelism (ABWE) nurses: Rhoda Little and Jeanne Waggoner.

It began to grow in 1949, when Dr. Lincoln Nelson, a Naval Physician, and Mrs. Nelson, RN joined the team, and when in 1951, and Mr. Esson, a pharmacist and Mrs. Esson, RN joined the team in 1951.

In August 1963, a surgeon named Dr. Antonio Maravilla was the first Filipino doctor to join the medical team.

[1][2] In partnership with the local church (Bethel Baptist Church), BBH also has a teaching and equipping ministry for local pastors through the Practical Pastoral Studies (PPS), a church planting and support ministry, and serving nearby communities through medical and surgical missions, health education initiatives and feeding programs.
