“You only get one life”

Michelle Mondello was breastfeeding her youngest child of three when she noticed a lump in her breast. Michelle was only 35 years old and had no family history of breast cancer. Because of her age and background, she wasn’t a candidate for regular mammograms. But after a biopsy at the Breast HealthCare Center at Missouri Baptist Medical Center, Michelle was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), an aggressive form of cancer that accounts for 10 to 15 percent of all breast cancers.

Get the care you need, when you need it

Knowing where to get medical care is important, especially for sudden injuries or illnesses. For health concerns, Peter Fletcher, MD, Washington University emergency medicine physician and interim medical director of emergency medicine at MoBap, advises contacting your primary care provider first unless it’s an emergency.

Helping Your Community

We all share a responsibility for the future of our community. At Missouri Baptist, our mission is to improve the health — and quality of life — for every neighbor we serve.

a message from Debra Victor, VP.

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.

Tributes and Memorials

Memorials and honoraria offer the opportunity to remember or celebrate a friend or loved one by making a special gift in his or her name.

Another excellent way to honor or memorialize a loved one is to establish — in his or her name — a philanthropic fund. Or, you can dedicate a room, facility or piece of medical equipment.
