Missouri Baptist Medical Center is the leading hospital for cardiac care and cardiac surgery in St. Louis County (based on outcomes see independent rankings ). We perform more than 6,000 heart procedures each year and vie with our sister hospital, Barnes-Jewish Hospital, for the No. 1 heart ranking in the state of Missouri.
Along the way, we’ve learned what our patients want most from a heart hospital. At Missouri Baptist, they receive leading-edge medical and surgical treatments in our state-of-the-art facilities from internationally recognized surgeons and cardiologists, all in our West County campus setting.
Providing the Most Advanced Treatment Options
When treatment is required, we can handle a wide range of conditions, including coronary heart disease, peripheral vascular disease, aneurysm repair and many others.
Our staff includes leading cardiologists, electro-physiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, vascular surgeons, anesthesiologists, experienced cardiac nurses and many other specially trained professionals.
Working as a team, we’ll guide you and your family through the best course of treatment, recovery and ongoing care.
Honored by HealthGrades for our outcomes.
Because you’re making important decisions everyday for your family, spouse, and maybe even your parents and friends, the doctors and staff at Missouri Baptist thought you should know about a prestigious honor the hospital just received. As a result of a study recently issued by HealthGrades, a leading independent healthcare ratings organization, MoBap was named the #1 Hospital in Missouri for Cardiac Services in both 2009 and 2010.
MoBap received this award based on what we do best: provide top medical care for hearts – just like yours. The HealthGrades study reported that MoBap is the only hospital in Missouri ranked in top 5% in the nation for cardiac care and the leading hospital in the state.
What does this mean to you and your family?
The HealthGrades study of hospital quality shows that patients admitted to the top-performing hospitals, like MoBap, have on average a 71% lower chance of dying than those treated at one-star hospitals.
Why should you trust this information?
MoBap was compared against 5,000 hospitals from across the nation. Plus, the study evaluated more than 40 million Medicare hospital records and reviewed mortality rates and complication rates from the past three years.
The Heart Center team at MoBap is very proud to have our quality of care nationally recognized by ratings agencies like HealthGrades. HealthGrades publishes its results and we invite you to learn more at www.healthgrades.com.
We know that what’s most important to you is not the number of awards we received, the scoring of the various heart programs we offer or the total volume of the many surgeries conducted by our heart surgeons. What is most important to you is knowing that when you need us, you can trust your heart to MoBap.
