Frequently Asked Questions

On Oct. 7, an ongoing construction plan began for the interior renovation of Missouri Baptist Medical Center’s existing Main Tower. This construction means that the fourth-floor ICU waiting room will remain closed until the construction is completed. The fourth-floor ICU remains open and accessible.

There will be an increase in intermittent noise levels beginning Oct. 7, which may impact patients and visitors in the following areas: mother/baby, NICU on the third floor and some areas on the fifth floor.

Is there a strategy in place to mitigate noise?
We apologize for any inconvenience the construction will cause to visitors and patients. To help mitigate noise, we’re exploring implementing several strategies. Speak with your nurse if you need assistance.
