These were never issued or worn by Officers. HCA decided to split the Security Department and place them under individual hospital control.

Research Medical Center (RMC) HCA - KCMO
Research Medical Center began in 1886 as the German Hospital located on Hospital Hill. During World War I, the name of the hospital was changed to Research Hospital in order to eliminate any connection to the war and Germany.
Baptist Medical Center (BMC) HCA - KCMO (Closed) DBA Research Brookside Campus
The hospital building at 6601 Rockhill Road was first known as Baptist Medical Center, and then Baptist-Lutheran Medical Center. HCA closed the inpatient portion of the hospital. All inpatient services were transferred at that time to Research Medical Center, an existing inpatient hospital and trauma center less than two miles away. The emergency department and outpatient services remained open, now renamed Research Medical Center - Brookside Campus to show that it had become a satellite facility of Research Medical Center. Other areas of the building are used for training and for other HCA offices.
I am searching for any badges and patches for Baptist Medical Center, Baptist Memorial Hospital or Baptist Health Systems that were used for this hospital prior to 1991

Belton Regional Medical Center/Research Belton Hospital
Research Belton Hospital opened in 1984. Belton Regional Medical Center wasn’t always a hospital. Before 1984, the only access to emergency facilities that area residents had was an Emergency Center in a triple-wide trailer. During the week, emergency care had to occur between5 p.m. and 1 a.m., although the weekends had around-the-clock access. Local communities knew this wasn’t sufficient medical care, and so began the process of phasing out the trailer and phasing in a real hospital, with real buildings. Belton Security is provided by Research Medical Center.
