In June 2024, Missouri Baptist Medical Center held a “Swing the Hammer” event to celebrate the construction of the new cardiovascular hybrid operating suite, which is scheduled to open in December.

The Busch family, longtime supporters of MoBap, helped fund this $5.1 million project. “We are grateful for the excellent care our family has received from MoBap over the years and are proud to support this cutting edge project that will directly impact current and future patients,” says Steven Busch.

Enhanced Collaboration for Complex Procedures

This new suite will allow cardiothoracic surgeons and cardiologists to collaborate on complex procedures in one operating suite instead of scheduling separate interventions on separate occasions.

Advancing Patient Care in Cardiovascular Health

Supporting the rapidly growing number of patients coming to MoBap needing minimally invasive structural heart procedures, the new cardiovascular hybrid suite will improve the patient experience and help the medical team meet the specific needs of patients.
