Help Transform the MoBap NICU

Although it might be mini, the MoBap NICU is mighty, delivering the extraordinary care associated with a large academic medical center to our tiniest patients.

Every year, more than 3,000 babies are delivered at MoBap, and about 500 of them are admitted to the NICU. Once there, leading experts in premature and high-risk birth from WashU and St. Louis Children's Hospital, one of the top pediatric hospitals in the country, work together to provide patients and families with an unmatched quality of care.

Now it’s time to transform the NICU’s surroundings to match the expert care and compassion that help families daily. A private patient care space, refreshed family support space and modernization and expansion of the clinical environment will help providers continue to deliver high quality care, while patients feel cared for.

It's not only the expert care that makes the NICU special but also the stories of hope and resilience from families whose babies spent time there. Here are some of the experiences shared by families whose lives have been touched by the MoBap NICU.

To the Sappersteins, the MoBap NICU made a world of difference.
“During the toughest moments, the NICU staff knew exactly how to support us, including being a shoulder to cry on. We've never forgotten how much that meant to us. The kindness we experienced made all the difference in the world.”
--Sarah and Andrew Sapperstein, parents of twins

When they needed it the most, the Nahliks found care and compassion in the MoBap NICU.
“They sensed our fear and were calm, attentive and honest with us. The NICU staff was amazing in both their care and compassion for our girls. We’re forever grateful.”
--Rob and Ellen Nahlik, parents of twins

Thanks to the care they received at the MoBap NICU, the Lancasters gained the support and guidance they needed.
“We are so thankful to the doctors, nurses and staff at MoBap for their support and guidance as we navigated the NICU journey. I feel like my babies were in the best hands at Missouri Baptist's NICU.”
--Abigail Lancaster, mother of quadruplets
