A message from Debra Victor.

Thank you for considering a leadership gift to the Missouri Baptist Medical Center.

I wanted to share some exciting news.  Missouri Baptist Medical Center was recognized nationally with the Professional Research Consultants (PRC) Excellence in Healthcare Award due to MoBap’s commitment and consistency in providing excellent patient care- even amid the challenges of a pandemic.

Last April, Missouri Baptist Medical Center achieved its second Magnet® designation in recognition of nursing excellence. The designation comes from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). Only nine percent of the nation's hospitals meet the criteria to earn this prestigious designation for providing the highest quality patient care, teamwork, professionalism, and innovation in nursing practice.

In July for the eighth consecutive year, U.S. News and World Report ranked Missouri Baptist Medical Center #2 in St. Louis and for the fifth consecutive year #3 in Missouri.

MoBap’s commitment to excellence, compassionate care, and teamwork with donor leadership and investment is the foundation which makes these achievements possible.

Please consider supporting one of these areas as MoBap continues to provide excellent service to all our patients as well as support those on the front lines of service.
