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.

In 2021, Russell (Russ) Horne and William Sibert were diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). They both benefited from molecular profiling of their cancer, known as precision oncology, which identified different and effective treatment approaches.

Looking forward to resuming their active lifestyle in 2022, Connie and Arlin have two trips planned early in the year. Connie said that her heart surgery has given her a new lease on life. "Every time I'm at Missouri Baptist, I feel cared for, listened to and taken seriously. I always tell people that if you have heart problems, go to MoBap."

The new technology at MoBap — robotic magnetic navigation (RMN) — introduces the benefits of robotic precision and safety to cardiac ablation, a common, minimally invasive procedure used to treat arrhythmias

Michael, a 51-year-old business owner, was a one-pack-a-day cigarette smoker for 30 years who quit in 2017. As someone who enjoyed good health, Michael never worried about his lungs. However, chronic shoulder pain that he attributed to over-exercising and weightlifting began to bother him. On a whim, Michael Googled "causes of shoulder pain" and was surprised when lung cancer came up in the search result.

Each year, a special group of MoBap donors called Champions for Care designate their giving to a group fund-raising project that will elevate the quality of patient care. In 2020, that project was MoBap’s lung cancer screening program.

The new CARES (Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security) Act provided a few key provisions for your charitable goals.

Carrie Rao realized early in the pandemic that masks were in high demand. As a quilter, Rao had a significant stash of fabric that she sewed into masks and generously donated more than 200 of them to the community, including Missouri Baptist Medical Center.

Food was a welcome sight at the height of the COVID-19 outbreak, especially since the hospital cafeteria was at limited capacity.

The Champions For Care program allows individual donors to collectively fund a project to directly improve patient care at MoBap. By pooling their resources, the Champions accomplish more than they could individually. 

Our Planned Giving Center is a valuable resource for your charitable gift planning. Wills and bequests provide a means for members of the Missouri Baptist Medical Center community to support programs of their choice well into the future.

In 2018, the Champions purchased four new radiant warmers for our tiniest patients in Labor & Delivery and the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

A year after being named a Magnet® hospital, Missouri Baptist continues to emphasize and cultivate nursing leadership by establishing the The Nancy A. Ross, RN Endowed Chair for Nursing.

In less time than it takes to brew a pot of coffee, you can make a lasting impact at Missouri Baptist Healthcare Foundation.

Volunteers at Missouri Baptist Medical Center find that their roles can be fun and satisfying as they meet people and become involved in community service. Each volunteer determines his or her level of involvement. There are opportunities to work at events, serve in leadership positions, work at fund-raisers and participate in special projects.

When Sherri Weintrop’s clients and friends—or even her own son—ask for advice on making charitable donations, she tells them to “think about what is important to you and the places that have impacted your life.”

Rob Kohn, 22, was known by his family and friends as a kind and gentle soul. When he passed away unexpectedly in December 2015, his parents, DeeDee and Andy Kohn, and brother, Michael, knew they wanted to create a memorial that would honor his memory in a way that reflected his nature.

Honor someone special with a gift in their name.
