We are proud to recognize Danielle, a nurse on MoBap's postpartum floor, for being recognized as a recent DAISY Foundation Award winner! 🌼

A family recently shared how much Danielle’s care meant during their stay on our postpartum unit. They described a long and emotional journey leading up to their son’s birth, followed by unexpected challenges that required immediate support. During some of their hardest moments, Danielle became a steady source of comfort and guidance.

She took time to talk with them, listened with compassion, and helped them feel supported and cared for. One part of the nomination read, “She made us feel as though we were her entire world, a sentiment that is rare and priceless.”

The family shared that Danielle’s kindness, encouragement, and dedication made an undeniable impression during a time they described as overwhelming. Her actions brought hope and reassurance when they needed it most.

Thank you, Danielle, for the exceptional care you provide to our patients and families! 💛

Just like Santa's elves, the MoBap lung cancer screening team has been hard at work this season! 🎅 Instead of building toys, they spent November out in the community, educating people about the importance of lung cancer screening and early detection.

Awareness is the first step, but knowing your personal risk is what truly makes a difference. If you know someone who might be at risk for lung cancer, encourage them to get screened. Early detection saves lives! ✅

Tim had no symptoms, no pain, no warning. But hundreds of miles away at MoBap, his care team was reviewing his latest MRI scan and found something alarming: a life-threatening tear in his main artery that could have been catastrophic had it not been detected.

For years, Tim lived with an aortic dissection, a serious condition requiring expert supervision. Keeping an eye on his health with cardiothoracic surgeon Joshua Baker, MD, meant traveling nearly three hours to St. Louis—until he enrolled in our Telemedicine Aortic Surveillance Clinic.

This virtual surveillance saved Tim's life.

It was during a routine remote follow-up when the clinic team noticed the tear had worsened, becoming a "dissection within a dissection." Dr. Baker noted the extreme danger, explaining that the remaining wall was "paper thin."

"Without remote surveillance, this redissection might have gone unnoticed until it was too late," Dr. Baker added.

The most alarming part? Tim had absolutely no idea anything was wrong. "It was incredible the Surveillance Clinic team could catch something that serious before I even had symptoms," Tim says. "This surveillance really made all the difference."

Thanks to the Surveillance Clinic's immediate action, the team contacted Tim via video call to explain the findings and scheduled him for surgery that same week. "They don’t just look over your scans," Tim says, "they really watch over you and it gives me peace of mind knowing they’re part of my care."

When it came to her second pregnancy, Claire knew precisely the kind of empowering support she wanted: that of a certified nurse midwife.

Having heard her mother, a nurse at Missouri Baptist Medical Center, praise its midwifery team, Claire confidently started her journey with Kari Reimann, CNM, for a pre-conception visit in March. When Claire became pregnant a couple months later with baby Maxwell, both Kari and Lyndsay Duffe, CNM, supported her throughout her pregnancy.

Claire enjoyed the long appointment times—60 minutes as a new patient and 30 minutes for return patients—to discuss her questions and concerns. She also appreciated how the midwives discussed ways to have a healthy pregnancy every step of the way.

When it was time for baby Maxwell to enter the world, Claire felt well prepared for a low-intervention, no pain medication birth experience, with a lot of support.
On Dec. 22, 2024, Claire woke up early in the morning from contractions. “They’d probably been going on all night,” says Claire, “But I hadn’t noticed.”

By 6:30 a.m., the contractions were coming two minutes apart, and Claire told her husband they needed to get to MoBap now. “I was already 7 centimeters dilated when I got to the hospital,” Claire said.

Despite 8 hours of labor after arriving at the hospital, Claire describes Maxwell’s birth as wonderfully peaceful. She was encouraged by her midwife to listen to her body and move as she felt she needed to.

Baby Maxwell went directly skin-to-skin with Claire, and they enjoyed an hour of uninterrupted bonding after delayed cord clamping. Claire felt calm and confident throughout her birth, and she praised her midwife team for their support throughout the pregnancy and birthing process.

Claire’s story shows the confidence, empowerment, and personalized care that comes from midwifery. If you’re considering your birth options, explore what the midwifery team at MoBap can offer: https://heyor.ca/knRqg4

When John's left arm suddenly slid across his desk during a work call, he instantly knew something was wrong. He rushed to his wife and told her he thought he was having a stroke. She noticed his face drooping and immediately called 911 to get John to the nearest BJC hospital.

John was having an ischemic stroke. Thanks to his wife's quick thinking and 24/7 access to stroke specialists across the BJC Health system, John made a full recovery.

“I feel blessed,” John says. “All I want to do is pass those blessings on and help other people when I can.”

After experiencing firsthand the importance of stroke education and support, John partnered with BJC stroke coordinators to create a BJC stroke support group in his local St. Charles community. Today, BJC offers several free monthly stroke support groups throughout the communities we serve, including a welcoming group at MoBap, where survivors and caregivers learn, share, and heal together.

If you or a loved one has been impacted by a stroke, join us Thursday, December 11 from noon-2 p.m. for MoBap's next Stroke Support Group. Learn more and register: https://heyor.ca/7sYd2u

Charlotte Moro sensed something was wrong, something she couldn’t quite explain. One moment she was having dinner with her husband Joe, and the next, her words simply wouldn’t come out. She felt no pain—just an overwhelming sense that something wasn’t right.

Joe noticed it too. After years of seeing Charlotte experience transient ischemic attacks (TIAs)—brief episodes caused by a temporary loss of blood flow to the brain—he knew the signs. TIAs often last only minutes, but they’re serious indicators of stroke risk. And this time, Joe could tell something far more urgent was unfolding.

He rushed Charlotte to Missouri Baptist Medical Center.

The moment they arrived, the Emergency Department team acted quickly. Charlotte was evaluated and taken for a CT scan.

Working with a WashU Medicine neurologist through BJC’s telestroke program—which connects all 14 BJC hospitals to stroke specialists 24/7—the team confirmed the diagnosis: an ischemic stroke, the most common type, caused by a blood clot. Charlotte was given TNK, a newer clot-busting medication designed to restore blood flow, giving her the best chance for recovery.

Everything moved quickly, and that speed made all the difference.

Charlotte received specialized, coordinated stroke care from the minute she entered the hospital—care made possible by Missouri Baptist’s growing neuroscience program and advanced virtual stroke capabilities. She has since recovered and is doing well, and continues to receive exceptional neurological care at MoBap.

And today on , you can help strengthen that care for the next family who depends on it. Charlotte’s story is a powerful reminder of how fast action, advanced stroke expertise, and compassionate care can change the outcome for patients facing neurological emergencies.

“As a Missouri Baptist Medical Center volunteer and a grateful husband, I’ve seen firsthand what the Missouri Baptist neurological team can do,” Joe says. “When my wife had a stroke, they stepped in with lifesaving skill and kindness. Our community is fortunate to have this care so close, and together we can make it even better for the next family who needs it.”

Your Giving Tuesday donation will directly enhance Missouri Baptist Medical Center's neuroscience program, supporting the advanced stroke care that helped save Charlotte’s life. Give today: https://www.missouribaptist.org/give
