HEALTHCARE
“Making the East Pavilion a reality required careful planning, dedication and hard work. Now we’re ready to fulfill the vision of this commitment to our community.”
— Joan Magruder, president, Missouri Baptist Medical Center
Every department inside the newly completed East Pavilion has been designed to make this facility super responsive to St. Louis County residents’ healthcare needs.
Constructed in just 22 months, the five-story, 150,000-square-foot, $49.7 million facility houses a larger Emergency Department with 20 private treatment rooms, and a four-bed Chest Pain Center. The Cancer Center grew from 20 to 26 infusion bays. A 10-bed cardiovascular surgery recovery area and a 16-bed progressive care unit are adjacent to surgery recovery. Finally, a Pediatric Care Center rounds out the services offered within the East Pavilion. The importance of family support is not lost on this facility. It is designed to keep family members close to their loved ones during treatment, and a healing garden creates an environment where patients and their families can rejuvenate mind, body and spirit.
