Helping Our Tiniest Patients Grow

Our vision is to distinguish MoBap as the premier provider of women, infant and pediatric services by offering exceptional, seamless, integrated, multidisciplinary programs to childbearing families and their children across the continuum from pre-conception through postpartum and into the pediatric lifespan. MoBap is looking at all areas of a family centric experience from a healing environment, optimizing nutrition, minimizing stress to kangaroo care that impacts the newborn baby and family members.

While these resources and programs are good, we are looking to become the best for the communities we serve and those who are depending on us to excel.

MoBap’s Special Event is coming in 2024. Co-chairs, Lisa and Roy Kramer and Arica and Steven Harris, will lead the details to create an exceptional night. With nearly 4,000 babies born annually at MoBap, 14% of our little gifts spend time in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). As a family centric hospital each newborn has a family who wants to be close to them.

Help our MoBap family fund a new innovative designed, modernized and expanded NICU for moms, dads, babies, and clinical care.

Look for more details on our special night to raise funds for our tiniest patients and their NICU.
