A message from the president.

It’s been an incredible honor to be completing my first year as President of Missouri Baptist Medical Center. Every day, I discover again that this team and the care they deliver is simply extraordinary. It inspired the Executive Team and me to reflect on our work and what we aspire to do – improve the quality of life of our patients, with a focus on higher acuity conditions that require extraordinary clinical expertise, delivered with compassion and calm confidence.  

Because of donors, we can enable this extraordinary clinical expertise by making our teams’ lives easier and their delivery of care more effective. Through education, equipment acquisition, and renovation, we fully and wholly support every patient who comes through our door.

In the coming year, we’ll be renovating and upgrading some of our inpatient bed units. In addition, thanks to generous, engaged donors, we’ll be creating a Cardiovascular Hybrid Operating Suite for our most complex surgeries and procedures. 

We’re incredibly grateful to you, our donor family, for your dedication and partnership.

Ann Abad
President, Missouri Baptist Medical Center

The Gift of Giving Back

For several years, neighbors and best friends Jean and Joyce have volunteered at the Missouri Baptist Medical Center (MoBap) gift shop. “We’ve met amazing people. Sometimes, it’s a grandparent who is over the moon about a new baby or someone who is going home after an extended stay. Other times, it might be a family member whose loved one is struggling,” Joyce says.
