It all starts with a prequalification. Stop into any location today, or apply online at centralbank.net.

education in columbia WITH THE STATE’S FLAGSHIP UNIVERSITY, award-winning public schools and a slew of private options, education is one of the cornerstones of Columbia.

With more than 13,000 full-time faculty and staff members, the University of Missouri is Columbia’s largest employer. As a member of the Southeastern Conference and a major research university, the campus is a $2.1 billion enterprise that makes a big impact on the local economy.

Columbia College and Stephens College — which together serve more than 4,000 undergraduate students — also count among Columbia’s cultural and educational assets and are a big part of why Columbia was named among the Top 10 Best College Towns by Liveability.com.

The seventh-largest district in the state, Columbia Public Schools has an enrollment of 18,015 students and is another top employer with 2,417 faculty and staff.

The district’s ACT and SAT scores exceed state and national averages, and 80-90 percent of Columbia students extend their education beyond high school. Columbia Public Schools has been recognized as a District of Distinction by District Administration magazine, a Top 15 School District ranking by Niche.com and has been nationally recognized by SchoolMatch with a “What Parents Want” award.

Columbia also offers a number of private school options from preschool through high school, with two Catholic schools and three other faith-based academies, several Montessori options for early childhood education and a secular independent school.

BATTLE HIGH SCHOOL 7575 St. Charles Road | 573-214-3300 | www.cpsk12.org/Domain/26

OPENED IN FALL 2013, Battle High School was named in honor of Dr. Muriel Battle, an educator who served Columbia Public Schools for 40 years. Battle was a pioneer in the desegregation of both the school district and the community at large. Starting as a social studies teacher at Douglass High School, Battle spent the bulk of her time with CPS at West Junior High School, where she worked as a teacher, department chairperson, assistant principal and principal. The motto at West Junior High while Battle was at the helm was, “We’re glad you’re here.” She retired as the first female associate superintendent of Columbia Public Schools.

The Battle Spartans have achieved success in the short time they have been competing, with a state championship in football in 2014.

FR. TOLTON HIGH SCHOOL 3351 E. Gans Road | 573-445-7700 | www.toltoncatholic.org

OPENED IN FALL 2011, Fr. Tolton Catholic High School was the result of years of grassroots fundraising and planning efforts by local Catholic parishes and families. The high school was named for John Augustin Tolton, America’s first black priest. Tolton was born a slave in Brush Creek, Mo. In 1854, he escaped to join the Union Army. He was ordained to the priesthood in Rome because no American seminary would accept him. Fr. Tolton High School started off with just over 50 ninth and tenth graders, expanded the next year to serve grades 9-11 and graduated its first senior class in spring of 2014. The school’s mission is to educate students “within a community of faith founded upon the teachings of Jesus Christ and His Church” and “facilitate the growth of the whole student: spirit, heart, mind and body.” Fr. Tolton has nationally-recognized AdvanceED accreditation. The girls’ track team secured the Trailblazers’ first team state championship in 2015. The school also has a state title in cheerleading.

Mascot: Trailblazer Year opened: 2011 Number of students: 300 Students per classroom: 16 Feeder School: Our Lady of Lourdes Interparish School

DOUGLASS HIGH SCHOOL 310 N. Providence Road | 573-214-3680 | www.cpsk12.org/Domain/15

FREDERICK DOUGLASS HIGH SCHOOL has been many things since it was first incorporated into the Columbia School District in 1865 as an all-black school. The high school program is believed to have been started around 1887. After Brown vs. Board of Education in 1954, Douglass was designated one of Columbia’s seven elementary schools and the junior and senior high programs were slowly phased out. In 1967, Douglass became the home of the district’s new continuing education program created by former principal Eliot Battle. The district’s Secondary Learning Center — recognized by the district and by former Gov. John Ahscroft as a model program — was relocated to the Douglass building in 1985. In November 1992, the Columbia School Board voted a name change for the Secondary Learning Center back to Frederick Douglass High School. Douglass once again became an official, accredited high school in 1993, and its mascot was changed to the original bulldog. Douglass’ mission is to “re-engage students at risk of dropping out to achieve successful high school completion and design a positive, productive post-secondary transition plan.”

Mascot: Bulldogs Year opened: 1885 Number of students: 189 Students per classroom: 10

ROCK BRIDGE HIGH SCHOOL 4303 S. Providence Road | 573-214-3100 | www.cpsk12.org/Domain/32

OPENED IN 1973 to meet the needs of a growing Columbia, Rock Bridge is named for the state park just two miles away. The school’s original architectural design won a national award in school design. It was the student body who decided on the Bruins mascot (patriots, turtles, road runners and rebels were also considered) and the Kelly green and new gold school colors.

Student Sam Smith also designed the Bruin logo. Continuing that student-led theme, in 1973 a humanities class created the school crest with the motto, “Omnes Vincent Ursi” or “Bruins Conquer All.” The Bruins have indeed conquered all with a number of state athletic titles.

HICKMAN HIGH SCHOOL 1104 N. Providence Road | 573-214-3000 | www.cpsk12.org/Domain/19

COLUMBIA’S OLDEST OPERATING HIGH SCHOOL is named for David Henry Hickman, who donated part of his estate — which had formerly been home to a horse race track and grandstand — for construction of the new school in 1927. Legend has it the school gained its Kewpie mascot after a school secretary placed her Kewpie doll in the center of the court during a basketball game and the entire game was played around it without it being broken — as the team won, it became a good luck charm. The school’s motto is “Keep smiling.” As a two-time Blue Ribbon School and a Missouri Gold Star School and being named in the top 5 percent of high schools in the nation by “Newsweek” magazine in 2006, Hickman has had a lot to smile about.

Three’s Company

The Hooten Hallers are Columbia’s true road warriors

By Aarik Danielsen Photos by Hunter Dyke

LIVE VIBRANTLY IN COLUMBIA, MO

If you were forced to choose one song — and only one — to sum up The Hooten Hallers’ sound, you could do much worse than “Rhythm and Blues,” from the band’s 2017 self-titled release.

“Rhythm and Blues” is, of course, the kind of music the Columbia-forged outfit plays: dirty, groovy, unholy R&B, heavy on the blues. It also is a tune that reveals many of the three-piece’s most endearing musical traits.

The song opens on an ominous roadhouse guitar groove.

Andy Rehm’s gradually pounding percussion opens the door for singer-guitarist John Randall to howl the song into oblivion.

As the tune trucks along, it alternates dark and light, space and fury. Randall sings as if he’s been possessed by a bluesman from decades gone by — and likes it; Rehm elevates his mate’s growl with a fierce falsetto; saxophonist Kellie Everett bobs and weaves around the beat, fighting fire with fire, holding chaos together with more chaos.

For more than a decade, this has been The Hooten Hallers’ way. Tightly woven bonds fuel sprawling, scruffy bluesrock. A solid foundation laid at home has freed the band to become true road warriors, spending sometimes as many as 200 days out of town each year. As much as any band in recent memory, The Hooten Hallers represent Missouri, Mid-Missouri specifically, to the rest of the country — and they’re giving the rest of us a good name.

THREE’S COMPANY

Randall and Rehm have been the constant core for a decade — Rehm the band’s steadily beating heart, Randall its wild and woolly face.

The two heard each other play in other Columbia bands.

At some point, Rehm said, they were hanging out so much they figured they “might as well be playing music.”

The first, fuzzy vision for what The Hooten Hallers might be started when another two-man band, Indiana’s Left Lane Cruiser, swept through town on a mighty, rockin’ wind.

They sounded bigger than they had any right to, Randall said, and left a blueprint for The Hooten Hallers to follow.

Early on, the freedom found in only having to satisfy two people let Randall and Rehm grow close while figuring out their style as they went, Randall said.

‘‘

Small shows in the middle of nowhere — they won’t only get you down the road, but the people who see you will remember that for a long time,” Randall said. “And they’ll become ... lifelong fans.

The pair’s eerie vocal blend — Rehm taking the incredibly high road, Randall grumbling and rumbling on the low end — developed over a matter of time. Of all places, Rehm’s falsetto was developed in the shower, singing along to Marvin Gaye B-sides.

‘‘

A friend introduced Randall to the strange art of Mongolian throat singing; mimicking those techniques, he built a hardier, gruffer voice. Since he’s been in the band his singing voice has dropped “a solid octave,” he said.

At gigs, they were pestered by listeners who thought they needed a bass player — or those who wanted to be that bass player. Randall and Rehm always declined; publically, they had no interest in adding another member. Privately, they had their eyes and ears open for someone special and something specific.

MEET THE BAND If they were ever going to multiply, the phantom third member had to do something “unique enough to make it worth adding another person into the fold,” Rehm said. They had no interest in expanding as a traditional three-piece — “We’ve always been weirdos, so we try to keep it as weird as possible,” Rehm added.

He and Randall had heard a band with a saxophonist serving as de facto bassist, and loved the idea.

“The crunchiness of the saxophone goes with the distorted guitar in a way that you don’t hear very often,” Randall said.

For a time, local Paul Weber filled something like that role, augmenting the band’s sound on harmonica and tuba.

Weber brought an ear for arranging that altered the band’s fast-and-loose approach.

“Instead of just getting up there and banging it out as loud and hard as we can, let’s think about the actual notes that we’re playing, the way people receive those,” Randall said.

Everett, who lives in St. Louis and joined the band fulltime in 2014, has taken that element to a new, exciting level.

She knows her stuff, Randall and Rehm affirmed, on both sides of the stage.

Kellie Everett Hometowns: Cedar Rapids and Iowa City, Iowa Instrument: Baritone and bass saxophone, vocals New music she’s looking forward to: The Tillers, self-titled; Dom Flemons, “Black Cowboys”; Patrick Sweany, “Ancient Noise”

John Randall Hometown: Kirkwood Instrument: Vocals, guitar, lap steel Influences: For pure physicality, Randall has been inspired by the singing of Howlin’ Wolf; Nina Simone and Janis Joplin have taught him about reaching for transcendence.

On guitar, John Lee Hooker is a particular hero, and Randall praised the original style of St. Louisan Mat Wilson.

Andy Rehm Hometown: St. Charles Instrument: Drums, vocals Influences: Robert Johnson’s “unadulterated” recordings were the first time a young Rehm realized there was more to music than what he had heard. He still credits the early blues master with flipping his creative script.

As a third player, she brings jazz training and theory to the band. She has not only filled out the sound, but created more room within it, allowing Rehm and Randall to breathe easy and concentrate more on creating mood than playing as many notes as they can.

For her part, Everett was sensitive to entering such a close musical partnership. “I was shy at first about trying not to take up too much sonic space,” she said in an email.

With her ear and attitude, however, it was only a matter of time before the three players truly became a trio.

“There’s absolutely room, anywhere from adding highlights to the drum rhythms, doubling up a guitar lick for emphasis, or laying down a completely independent bass line,” Everett added.

Her music-business acumen has kept the operation humming. Everett keeps detailed books, something the band hadn’t done before — to be fair, “It was hard to count money, when there was none,” Rehm joked — and has kept an eye on the future, with one share of all profits going back into the band.

As much as Everett has been good for the band, the band has been good for her. She has been forced to get beyond what’s comfortable and own her status as a rock ‘n’ roller, someone with a share of the spotlight.

“I definitely had to learn how to rock, how to have a stage presence, how to move,” she said. “I was primarily playing jazz before joining the band, which required more technical finesse, but you could work on that sitting behind a music stand.”

ROAD RULES

Rock ‘n’ roll is stocked with bittersweet songs about the road, its romantic pull and its ability to suck the life out of you.

Journey took listeners on highway runs into the midnight sun; while turning the page, Bob Seger sang of long and lonesome highways east of Omaha; Rhett Miller and the Old 97s testified to the way nightclubs stole their youth.

If The Hooten Hallers wrote a signature road song, it would be a bit more even-handed. The band’s perspective on touring life is a mix of resilience, humor and brutal honesty.

Over the years, The Hooten Hallers have learned how to make friends wherever their van stops, where to find a $3 banh mi in Seattle and how to build a fanbase in towns that are a few degrees shy of glamorous.

“It’s a big trust fall, and you’re going to land in the most disgusting bathroom,” Rehm said, only half-joking.

A decade in, the band is only beginning to play big metropolises. Shooting for those star-crossed locales is a poor business model for a young band, Rehm said. The band largely has been content to play “towns where bands don’t often come,” Randall said, which tend to be full of fans rabid for something real and real loud.

“Small shows in the middle of nowhere — they won’t only get you down the road, but the people who see you will remember that for a long time,” Randall said. “And they’ll become … lifelong fans.”

“We’ve grown to love New York and enjoy playing there, but the first time you go, it feels like everybody is silently saying, ‘Go f—k yourself,’ ” Rehm added.

Surviving, let alone enjoying yourself, on the road takes a fair amount of strategy.

“I tackle the challenges of the tour schedule through intense organization,” Everett said, “so there aren’t a lot of surprises disturbing the flow of a day up through showtime.”

That allows the band, and hopefully the audience, to revel in pleasant surprises on stage.

“I, like most other musicians, live for that moment on stage when the excitement of the crowd and the excitement from performing builds through the whole show and transports us and the audience into a different place,” Everett added.

“That’s one of the most addictive feelings I’ve ever experienced, and you only get it when all of the variables line up perfectly.”

HOME SWEET HOME

As accustomed as The Hooten Hallers have grown to the road, the band doesn’t forget about home. They return to Columbia to play events such as the Roots N Blues N BBQ festival, and have a May 12 date scheduled for The Blue Note — former bandmate Paul Weber’s outfit, The Scrappers, will share the bill.

The band doesn’t believe there’s such a thing as a singular Missouri sound, but they’re glad to add their note to the chord, talking up other bands around the state — especially those they share a label, St. Louis-based Big Muddy Records, with. Among those artists are Everett’s husband, country singer Ryan Koenig.

“I love the Midwest — there’s less ego, everyone’s on a more level playing field,” Everett said. “... There’s no major music industry around here, so you see a lot more people taking chances and doing something real original, rather than trying to fit a certain mold where you have to do things a particular way to get gigs.”

Then, without meaning to, she said words that are as true of The Hooten Hallers as any band in the Midwest or beyond.

“People here aren’t afraid to have a raw and visceral sound, as opposed to a highly-polished sound.”

unique living lElise Rugolo How long have you lived in your home?

One year and eight months.

Did you specifically seek out a house designed by Pon Chinn?

I did not specifically seek out a Pon Chinn home, although I was familiar with his homes and had always admired them. The timing and price just turned out to be right!

Columbia architect Pon Chinn was known for projects such as the concrete canopies that graced the downtown shopping district for nearly four decades, the A.L. Gustin Golf Course, the City of Columbia golf course club houses and the terminal at Columbia Regional Airport.

He also designed a cul-de-sac of four homes for four instructors from the University of Missouri’s department of home economics. Built into a wooded bluff overlooking Hominy Branch Creek, the houses feature large windows that enable residents to feel like they are living with their woodland neighbors.

The Move visited with the current owners of those homes to give you an inside look at their unique living.

lLisa Bartlett How long have you lived in your home?

Three years.

Did you specifically seek out a house designed by Pon Chinn?

No, it was a bonus! He had been a customer of mine for years and I knew of his home designs in my parents’ neighborhood. My husband found the plans in the back of a closet.

What was it that drew you to your home?

The style. It’s very mid-century. The location was perfect for us. I work downtown, and David at Mizzou.

What is your favorite feature/s?

Vaulted ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, patio and outside space.

Built-in in every room. More storage than you can imagine. It’s so well designed and planned. Plus, the beautiful wood features.

What makes your home unique?

The light that comes in! The high ceilings make the rooms feel vast.

LIVE VIBRANTLY IN COLUMBIA, MO

What was it that drew you to your home?

I was drawn to the unique style of the home and the way it is nestled into the wooded hillside overlooking Hominy Branch Creek. Spatially it is very intriguing because, although there is the sensation of being up high and looking down into Moon Valley from some angles, from other angles you look up at a steep hillside and are very aware of being at the base of Bluff Blvd. It also feels very remote on this street, even though it is only a few minutes away from downtown and the University.

What is your favorite feature/s?

My favorite features are all the amazing windows, and that there is an incredible view from each one. I love that I feel so connected to the natural world, and I see wildlife on a regular basis such as owls, foxes, deer, blue herons, turtles, lizards, raccoons, possums and a variety of other birds.

I also love the vintage kitchen with the metal cupboards, heating lamps and exhaust fan above the range, as well as the unique light fixtures throughout the house and the gorgeous fireplace.

architect Pon Chinn The sunporch and deck are great for relaxing in warmer weather, although my next big project is to replace the deck because this one is starting to decay.

lJenny Young How long have you lived in your home?

We moved here from Colorado in June 2007, so 10 years.

Did you specifically seek out a house designed by Pon Chinn?

No, we actually bought this house sight unseen to me! My husband Dave had seen it though.

What was it that drew you to your home?

We moved from a dry climate and I was drawn to the tree house aspect of the house - it’s built into the side of a steep bluff and surrounded by a lot of trees.

By Katherine Cummins

What is your favorite feature/s?

There are so many features to this house that I love. As I mentioned above, there’s a very natural aspect to the house and there’s tons of huge windows, so there’s lots of light. There’s also no grass so you don’t have to mow.

There’s a fireplace on both floors – one is surfaced with a natural marble that acts like a mirror depending on the light, and the other is surfaced with big river rocks. There’s a screened-in porch off the kitchen that’s fantastic.

All the above, plus the front door (you’ll have to see it).

lSusan Roberts How long have you lived in your home?

Thirty-two years

Did you specifically seek out a house designed by Pon Chinn?

When we came here, my husband didn’t want grass to grow, or a swimming pool. (Pon Chinn) built them all without grass, nobody has a lawn, it was built into the rocks – it was quite clever, and nobody really overlooks anybody.

What was it that drew you to your home?

The view and just being in the house.

What is your favorite feature/s?

The big windows – they’re not energy efficient, but it gives you an amazing view. It’s a well laid out floor plan.

There’s lots of outside decking so you can sit out and it’s as if you’re in the middle of nowhere.

Homes in El Chaparral neighborhood | Travis Gallup/Columbia Daily Tribune

Columbia real estate market continues to grow THE COLUMBIA REAL ESTATE MARKET CONTINUES TO HOLD STEADY. Sales in early 2017 already are on track to

match or exceed those of 2016, according to Columbia Board of Realtors (CBOR) past President Jim Meyer.

Single-home sales fell slightly in 2016, with 2,198 homes sold compared to 2,205 in 2015, according to numbers from the Columbia Board of Realtors.

Although sales remained fairly steady in 2016, the Columbia and Boone County market saw a lower level of inventory throughout the year compared to 2015, Meyer said.

He has seen more sellers on the market so far this year.

“Last year was a little tight for buyers, but I think it’s going to be a little more balanced this year,” Meyer said.

LIVE VIBRANTLY IN COLUMBIA, MO

The cost of homes continues to rise. In 2016, single-family home sales averaged $210,335 — up from $205,328 in 2015 and $196,571 in 2014.

One factor that might affect future numbers, especially those surrounding new construction, is the revised Unified Development Code under review by City Council.

Among existing homes in the central part of the city, price appreciation has been noticeable, Meyer said. “There is a lot of upscale renovation to the ’40s and ’50s bungalows, so those prices are going up,” he said.

BOONE HOSPITAL CENTER

1600 E. Broadway | Find a doctor/make appt. 573-815-6400 | Gerneral Info. 573-815-6400 | www.boone.org

BOONE HOSPITAL CENTER consistently ranks as a top health-care provider in the region, the state and even the nation.

It has earned special recognition for its nursing staff, obstetrics and stroke care.

Boone is a 397-bed, full-service regional referral center covering 26 counties.

It ranked No. 1 among mid-Missouri hospitals in 2015 and No. 3 among state hospitals in 2016, according to U.S. News and World Report. Boone is one of only 64 hospitals in the nation to rank highperforming in all nine U.S. News and World Report categories.

Boone is the only Magnet hospital for nursing excellence in the area. It has received the designation three consecutive times, placing its nursing staff in the top 1 percent worldwide.

This year, the Women’s Choice Award named Boone one of America’s Best Hospitals for Obstetrics. The award — based on national accreditations, consumer assessment surveys and 70

/

hospital outcome scores — signifies that Boone is in the top 17 percent of U.S. hospitals offering obstetrics.

“Our award gives a woman the confidence that her choice of a hospital for her delivery will be the best in terms of quality care and patient safety for her and her baby,” said Delia Passi, founder and CEO of the Women’s Choice Award.

“As the trend of women waiting longer to start their families continues, having the Women’s Choice Award seal is especially important for older moms who face increased risk and need a top hospital to provide her care.”

U.S. News and World Report also rated Boone at Stroke Award Gold Plus and named the hospital to its Stroke Elite Honor Roll in 2015. The ratings reflect consistent 85 percent or higher adherence to quality measures and at least four consecutive quarters of 75 percent or higher achievement of door-to-needles times within 60 minutes, respectively.

LIVE VIBRANTLY IN COLUMBIA, MO

“The interdisciplinary team at Boone Hospital Center works and communicates closely with the patients and family.

Our common goals are to provide rapid intervention to save brain, implement care to prevent further strokes and initiate early rehabilitation to get our patients back to their lives at home,” said stroke program coordinator Donna Pond, BSHA, RN, CEN. Boone has worked to achieve highquality facilities, as well. In 2011, the hospital completed work on a state-ofthe-art addition that provides patients with private rooms. Boone continues to expand its services. It leads the market in imaging technology and in minimally invasive robotic surgery.

Improving patient access to quality care is a priority moving forward. Boone is growing its primary-care and specialtycare clinic networks, including with a new specialty clinic in Moberly.

TRUMAN VETERANS’ HOSPITAL

800 Hospital Drive | 573-814-6000 | www.columbiamo.va.gov

IN A TIME WHEN VETERANS’ SERVICES are often in the news because

of issues with the quality of service provided, Harry S. Truman Memorial Veterans Hospital continues to receive recognition for the opposite.

Truman is a four-star facility and was among only 32 VA medical facilities recognized as a “top performer” by The Joint Commission and continues to be ranked in the top 30, which Public Affairs Officer Larry S. Gaither attributed to the overall quality of patient care. He said Truman consistently ranks high in satisfaction for customer service.

Truman has 398 medical staff members, 123 operating beds and provides both inpatient and outpatient services in primary care, medical and surgical specialty care, behavioral health, physical rehabilitation and pharmacy services, as well as serving as a referral center for heart care services. They also offer homebased primary care, a seamless transition clinic for newly enrolled combat veterans, an addiction treatment program, suicide awareness and prevention and support for homeless veterans among other services.

Serving about 38,000 veterans, Truman maintains eight communitybased outpatient clinics located in

Jefferson City, Osage Beach, Kirksville, Marshfield, Mexico, Sedalia, St. James and Waynesville. The hospital also has affiliations with the University of Missouri’s School of Medicine, the Sinclair School of Nursing and the School of Health Professionals, among others, providing training opportunities for about 900 students each year.

Truman Memorial Veterans Hospital is landlocked, which limits opportunity for expansion, but there are plans to build a new ICU unit on top of the OR extension that was completed less than two years ago, and plans are also underway to add a new floor to ambulatory care.

AS THE STATE’S PREMIER ACADEMIC HEALTH CENTER,

University of Missouri Health Care provides patient-centered care that is at the forefront of medical research and technology. With five hospitals and more than 55 outpatient clinics throughout central Missouri, MU Health Care offers patients a full spectrum of care.

Patients and families who choose MU Health Care also have access to more than 600 physicians trained in more than 60 specialties and subspecialties, whether they are receiving primary care or highly specialized, multidisciplinary treatments for the most severe illnesses and injuries.

MU Health Care’s family medicine physicians are recognized as national leaders in their field. The MU School of Medicine’s Department of Family and Community Medicine has been ranked among the top 10 family medicine programs for 23 consecutive years by U.S. News and World Report.

MU Health Care’s Women’s and Children’s Hospital is the only dedicated women’s and children’s hospital within 120 miles. Its pediatric specialists offer exceptional care in more than 30 pediatric subspecialties. MU Women’s and Children’s Hospital earned the global Baby-Friendly® designation from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations International

/

Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF).

Expectant mothers can choose to have a birthing experience with minimal medical intervention through mid-Missouri’s first and only low-intervention birthing program.

Ellis Fischel Cancer Center’s medical teams work together with a common goal: to provide the latest cancer treatments and to improve and extend quality of life for thousands of people each year. Ellis Fischel is the first academic certified member of MD Anderson Cancer Network, a program of the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. Ellis Fischel offers patients access to specialists who provide treatment for a wide range of cancers including colorectal cancer, breast cancer, melanoma and skin cancer, prostate cancer and pediatric cancer.

MU Health Care offers the region’s only American College of Surgeons-verified Level I trauma center and a Level I stroke center at University Hospital.

MU cardiovascular specialists were the first in mid-Missouri to offer Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR), a heart valve-replacement procedure for high-risk surgical patients MU Health Care’s neuroscience specialists provide care through nationally recognized programs, making

LIVE VIBRANTLY IN COLUMBIA, MO

MU Health Care a leader in the areas of sleep disorders, stroke, and epilepsy and movement disorders.

At the Missouri Orthopaedic Institute, Missouri’s largest and most comprehensive freestanding orthopaedic center, more than 30 expert orthopaedic surgeons offer team-approach care.

Mizzou BioJointSM is the first and only treatment of its kind, bringing biological solutions to knee, hip, shoulder, ankle and other joint problems. Rather than using artificial joint replacements, our surgeons utilize natural tissue grafts of tendons, ligaments, cartilage, menisci and bone to improve joint function.

University of Missouri researchers have developed the Missouri Osteochondral Allograft Preservation System. It more than doubles the storage life of bone and cartilage grafts from organ donors.

At MU Health Care, we recognize that a patient-centered approach is not just about providing quality care but also about being accessible to patients in person, online and via secure messaging.

Through our robust patient portal, patients can go online to view their physician notes and lab results, request medication refills and pay bills. By offering online registration forms, we give our patients more face-to-face time with their health care team.
