Missouri Baptist is the first and only hospital in St. Louis County to be named a Magnet® hospital by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). This prestigious designation is the highest credential a health care organization can receive for nursing excellence and quality patient care. Less than nine percent of hospitals nationwide achieve this recognition. Additionally, U.S. News & World Report ranked the hospital #2 in the St. Louis metro area.
Missouri Baptist Medical Center’s Surgical Services department consists of 22 operating rooms, which include three heart team rooms and the da Vinci robotic surgical system.
