Congratulations to the first graduating class of Missouri Baptist Medical Center's Transitional Internship Program! 👏

A year ago, 13 physicians arrived at Missouri Baptist ready for the next step in their training. As they cared for patients, tackled new challenges, learned from mentors and colleagues, and gained the experience and confidence they'll carry into the next phase of their careers, they also discovered the kind of physicians they want to become.

Along the way, these physicians explored a variety of specialties, built a strong clinical foundation, and helped shape a new chapter in medical education at Missouri Baptist.

Now, they're taking the next step in their journeys. Some will continue their training close to home at Barnes-Jewish Hospital with WashU Medicine, while others will pursue advanced specialty training at institutions across the country.

We're proud of all they accomplished and grateful for the care they provided to our patients and community. Join us in celebrating the inaugural graduating class of our Transitional Internship Program.

We're proud to welcome Kristina Anderson, MD, to BJC Medical Group Family Medicine at Missouri Baptist Medical Center–Suite 226A.

According to her mom, Dr. Anderson's interest in medicine may have started with the movie E.T. As the story goes, she was so upset that E.T. was sick that she wanted to be one of the doctors who could help him get better. As she got older, that desire to help others grew into a love of science, community service, and caring for people.

Family medicine proved to be the perfect fit. Dr. Anderson enjoys helping patients find answers, whether they're dealing with a new concern, managing a chronic condition, or trying to stay healthy for the future. She believes everyone deserves to be cared for by a trusted medical professional who can help them navigate health concerns and make informed decisions about their care.

One of the things Dr. Anderson enjoys most about family medicine is caring for multiple generations of the same family. She considers it an honor to earn that kind of trust and to celebrate patients' successes alongside them.

As a board-certified family medicine physician, Dr. Anderson cares for patients of all ages, from infants and children to adults and seniors. She provides preventive care, well-woman exams, immunizations, and treatment for a wide range of conditions, including asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, colds, flu, and women’s health concerns. She also performs in-office procedures such as minor skin procedures, joint injections, and contraception placement.

Outside of work, Dr. Anderson enjoys spending time with her family, watching funny cat videos with her son, cheering on the St. Louis Blues, and exploring everything the area has to offer—from the zoo and Missouri Botanical Garden to local restaurants, museums, and performances. She also enjoys growing houseplants, collecting and tumbling rocks and minerals, crafting, thrifting, and listening to audiobooks.

One moment, Charlotte was having dinner with her husband. The next, she couldn’t speak. She felt no pain—just a sudden sense that something wasn’t right.

Joe had seen Charlotte experience transient ischemic attacks before—but this time, he knew something far more serious was happening.

“It felt different,” he says. “I knew we needed to move fast.”

That decision made all the difference.

At Missouri Baptist Medical Center, the Emergency Department team was ready—connecting with a WashU Medicine neurologist through BJC HealthCare’s 24/7 telestroke network. The team quickly confirmed the diagnosis: an ischemic stroke caused by a blood clot.

When it comes to stroke, time is brain—and Charlotte didn’t have time to lose. She received tenecteplase, a newer clot-busting medication, which restored blood flow and gave her the best chance at recovery.

Today, Charlotte is moving forward with confidence—supported by her care team, including BJC Medical Group neurologist Michael Butler, MD, and a community of fellow survivors through Missouri Baptist’s stroke support group.

“It gives me strength knowing I’m not alone,” she says.

We're excited to welcome Katie Upton, FNP, to the Arrhythmia Center on the campus of Missouri Baptist Medical Center.

Katie was inspired to follow her mother into nursing after seeing the difference she made in people's lives. Later, an opportunity to shadow ICU nurses confirmed that health care was the right path for her. She wanted a career where she could be of service to others.

She was drawn to cardiology after witnessing a loved one navigate multiple heart conditions and procedures. “Wanting to better understand her diagnoses and treatment sparked an interest that eventually became a specialty,” Katie says.

Today, Katie focuses on helping patients understand their conditions and the options available to treat them. She takes time to explain complex diagnoses, answer questions, and help patients feel confident in the decisions they make about their care. After nine years as a medical and cardiovascular ICU nurse, she values the opportunity to build lasting relationships and enjoys seeing patients get back to the activities they love.

As a family nurse practitioner specializing in cardiovascular electrophysiology, Katie cares for adults with conditions affecting the heart's electrical system, including arrhythmias, tachycardias, and atrial fibrillation. She also provides follow-up care for pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), as well as management of medications.

Outside of work, Katie enjoys staying active through running, swimming, hiking, and snowboarding. She also enjoys exploring St. Louis, attending concerts and festivals, cheering on the Blues, and spending time with her rescue animals.

Join us Thursday, July 9, from noon to 2 p.m. for our July Stroke Support Group featuring special guest speaker Alyssa, BSN, RN, CDCES, an inpatient diabetes educator at Missouri Baptist Medical Center.

According to the American Heart Association and the American Diabetes Association, people with diabetes are twice as likely to have a stroke. During this month’s support group, Alyssa will discuss how managing diabetes can help reduce stroke risk and share practical steps you can take to protect your health.

“High blood glucose (sugar) damages blood vessels and can increase fatty deposits or clots, which may lead to stroke,” Alyssa explained. “In addition to blood glucose management, it is important to manage your cholesterol and blood pressure to help reduce the risk of stroke.”

Whether you’re a stroke survivor or caring for a loved one, this support group offers an opportunity to learn, ask questions, and connect with others who understand the recovery journey.

Knowledge is power. Know that you are not alone! We hope you’ll join us.

Meet Erin, one of our dedicated MRI technologists at Missouri Baptist Medical Center!

Erin began her career as an X-ray technologist before exploring different imaging specialties. It didn’t take long for her to discover that MRI was where she belonged. She loves having the opportunity to spend a little extra time with each patient, helping them feel comfortable and cared for throughout their exam.

For nearly 10 years at Missouri Baptist Medical Center and 15 years with BJC, Erin has found purpose in helping patients through moments they never thought they could overcome. Whether it’s easing fears or talking someone through a difficult MRI, she takes pride in making a difference one patient at a time.

If you ask Erin for advice before your first breast MRI, she keeps it simple: “Don’t overthink it!” Her calm, reassuring approach is exactly what helps patients feel at ease.

Thank you, Erin, for the compassion, expertise, and reassurance you bring to every patient. We’re grateful to have you on our team! 💙
