Missouri Baptist Sullivan Hospital was one of six BJC Health System hospitals ranked by U.S News & World Report as “High Performing” in maternity services for 2025. The annual ranking recognizes excellence in care for expectant parents and newborns following uncomplicated pregnancies.
Hospitals were ranked based on a composite score of eight measures, including C-section delivery rates, early elective delivery (EED) rates, overall unexpected newborn complications, routine vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) rates, exclusive human milk feeding rates, episiotomy rates, birthing-friendly practices and transparency on racial/ethnic disparities.
The acknowledgment in maternity services greatly improves patient satisfaction by establishing trust, guaranteeing high standards of care, encouraging patient-focused practices and facilitating effective communication. Such recognition generates a beneficial cycle in which contented patients enhance the hospital's enduring reputation for quality care.
The other BJC facilities identified as High Performing are:
- Missouri Baptist Medical Center
- Parkland Health Center
- Saint Luke’s East
- Saint Luke’s Hospital of Kansas City
- Saint Luke’s North
“We’re so proud of the work we do for our community,” says Michele McKee, BJC East Region (BJC HealthCare) vice president of Women & Infants. “Providing the highest quality care for mom and baby is what our talented teams do best.”
