But now at Missouri Baptist we are ready to care for you -  with new safety precautions and other important  steps to make your visit an easy one and get you back to the care you need.

BJC HealthCare (“BJC”) is committed to protecting the confidentiality and security of our patients’ information. Regrettably, this notice concerns a security incident that may have involved some of that information for a specific group of patients.

While seasonal influenza (flu) viruses are detected year-round in the United States, flu viruses are most common during the fall and winter. The exact timing and duration of flu seasons can vary, but influenza activity often begins to increase in October. Most of the time flu activity peaks between December and February, although activity can last as late as May.

With flu season approaching, make sure you understand what the flu is and how to avoid it.
