Congratulations to Ariel, our September Employee of the Month! 🌟

Ariel has gone above and beyond for her team in sterile processing. After attending a professional conference earlier this year, she dedicated her time and energy to developing a new Sterile Processing Mission Statement and Coat of Arms. Her work inspired and united her department around a shared goal of delivering the best patient care possible.

Her leadership and enthusiasm have uplifted her team and even inspired others across BJC to adopt her mission statement as well. Ariel’s creativity and commitment continue to add value to her department and the patients they serve every day.

Thank you, Ariel, for all you do for MoBap and the sterile processing team!

Autumn Pethtel, RT(R)(MR)(ARRT), is a registered radiologic technologist specializing in MRI and certified by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists.

“I was inspired to become an MRI technologist because I’ve always been fascinated by how technology can help diagnose and improve patient care,” Autumn shared. “MRI combines advanced imaging with direct patient interaction, allowing me to make a real difference while working with cutting-edge technology.”

Autumn has been with BJC for 18 years and has proudly served in her current role at MoBap for the past year. When patients come in for their exam, Autumn offers reassurance and understanding. “The exam is safe and painless, and our team will guide you through every step,” she said. “We’re here to answer questions and help you feel at ease throughout the process.”

For Autumn, the most rewarding part of her work is helping patients by building relationships and making each experience as comfortable as possible during what can often be a stressful time.

Autumn wants to encourage everyone to prioritize their health all year round and to remember that early detection and compassionate care can make all the difference. 💗

We are pleased to welcome Akhila Padi, MD, a board-certified internal medicine physician, to the BJC Medical Group team at Sunset Hills Adult Medicine.

Her desire to pursue a career in medicine was inspired by watching the care her grandfather received when he was very sick. This experience led Dr. Padi to become a primary care physician, which combines her curiosity and love for science with making an impact on her community.

Dr. Padi is dedicated to providing patient-centered care by building trust and strong relationships. As a provider, she focuses heavily on preventive health care, actively striving to improve patients' overall well-being and enhance their quality of life. Dr. Padi shares, "The most rewarding aspect of being a primary care physician is empowering and educating my patients to take control of their health."

Dr. Padi treats patients 18 and older, offering a comprehensive range of services. This includes preventive care like annual physicals, vaccinations, and cancer screenings. She also manages acute and chronic health issues, including diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, asthma, and COPD, along with behavioral health issues such as anxiety, depression, obesity, and alcohol and substance abuse.

Originally from South Carolina, Dr. Padi has fully immersed herself in Saint Louis. She loves exploring the city's food scene, and when she's not caring for patients, she can be found hiking trails or reading, often spending time at Forest Park and Tower Grove Park with her dog, Olive.

Meet Trisha Ross, RT(MR)(MRSO), an MRI technologist at Missouri Baptist Medical Center. As a registered technologist specializing in MRI and certified as a Magnetic Resonance Safety Officer, Trisha combines technical expertise with a passion for patient care.

Her interest in MRI comes from a mix of curiosity, purpose, and practicality. “I’ve always been fascinated by how technology can reveal what’s hidden beneath the surface—literally,” she shared. “MRI is a perfect blend of precision, problem-solving, and compassion.”

During her nine years at MoBap, Trisha has grown tremendously both personally and professionally. The most rewarding part, she says, is being able to make a direct impact on patient care through both precision and kindness. “Whether it’s calming a nervous patient before a scan or collaborating with radiologists to ensure high-quality imaging, I’ve found real purpose in balancing technical skill with human connection.”

For anyone coming in for their first breast MRI, Trisha offers some reassurance. “It’s normal to feel a little anxious, but the procedure is safe, non-invasive, and designed to give your care team the most detailed view possible,” she said. “Stay calm, ask questions, and know that your technologist will walk you through everything. Most importantly, remember that this scan is a proactive step in your health journey—you’re doing something powerful by showing up.”

As Breast Cancer Awareness Month comes to an end, Trisha’s reminder is one to carry with us all year long—early detection and proactive care save lives. ❤️

Richard’s body was sending him a signal he couldn't read. One moment, he was on a treadmill, and the next, he collapsed—completely unaware he was having a stroke.

Fortunately, the people around him knew the signs of stroke, and their quick thinking led him to a BJC HealthCare Primary Stroke Center, triggering a life-saving response powered by our Stroke Network.

As we recognize World Stroke Day today, Richard’s experience reminds us: “Time is brain.” Without urgent treatment, brain cells die within minutes. This is why all of our hospitals are part of the BJC Stroke Network, giving them immediate 24/7 access to WashU Medicine Physicians through our advanced Telestroke platform.

This real-time access to some of the nation's top stroke experts ensures patients receive local care while benefiting from the expertise of our Comprehensive Stroke Center, resulting in faster, more accurate treatment and higher rates of receiving potentially life-saving procedures.

We are pleased to welcome Darrin Jalloh, MD, an internal medicine physician, to the BJC Medical Group team at Sunset Hills Adult Medicine.

Dr. Jalloh entered health care to combine his interest in science with his drive to help others—solving problems that make a meaningful impact on patients' lives. He ultimately went into primary care, where he embraces the privilege of building long-term, trusted relationships with patients.

His proudest moment as a doctor embodies his dedication to clinical expertise and compassionate care. A patient with multiple, complex issues had been in and out of the hospital for months, but Dr. Jalloh and his team's collaborative, multidisciplinary approach stabilized the patient so he could return home to his family: "Seeing his improvement and the gratitude from both him and his loved ones was incredibly rewarding and reinforced why I chose this profession."

Dr. Jalloh's approach is a true partnership, emphasizing preventive care and shared decision-making. He prioritizes open communication, dedicating time to educate patients about their health conditions, and empowering them to actively participate in their personalized treatment plans.

Treating patients 18 and older, Dr. Jalloh offers a comprehensive range of services. This includes preventive care like annual physicals, well-woman exams, vaccinations, and cancer screenings. He also provides management for both acute and chronic conditions, such as injuries, illnesses, diabetes, arthritis, asthma, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart failure, and obesity, while also prescribing weight-loss medications and providing vitamin therapy.

Originally from Dallas, Texas, Dr. Jalloh stays active by working out and exploring the local parks and trails in both Missouri and Illinois. He also enjoys trying new restaurants and spending time with family and friends.

Missouri Baptist Medical Center is proud to recognize Brooke Rybicki, BSRT, RRT, RRT-NPS, as this year’s recipient of The PHIL Award, a national recognition honoring respiratory therapists who go above and beyond to provide exceptional care and compassion to their patients. The award celebrates professionals who understand that every breath matters.

Brooke is a registered respiratory therapist who has been part of the MoBap team for over 2 years. She serves as a night shift team lead and Respiratory Shared Governance Chair.

Brooke’s passion for respiratory care began at a young age as she and her sister both had to manage asthma. She also later supported her cousin during a hospital stay for pneumonia. Those experiences inspired her to dedicate her career to helping others breathe easier.

When asked what she finds most rewarding about her work, Brooke shared, “Watching people pull through and get to go home.”

She went on to say, “This award means the world to me because it shows that the small things we do, the time spent comforting a patient or supporting a colleague, truly matter. It reminds me that even on the hardest day, our efforts make a difference. I’m humbled and honored to be recognized.”

Outside of work, Brooke enjoys spending time outdoors gardening, foraging for mushrooms, and hiking. She also loves relaxing at home with her husband, their German Shepherd, and a good book or football game.

Congratulations, Brooke, on this well-deserved honor! 🫁
