Info | Judy Baker was born in Columbia, where her mother, Beverly Briggs Wall, graduated from the MU College of Education and taught at West Boulevard Elementary, and her father, Dr. Norman Wall, from the MU School of Medicine. Shortly after her birth, her father joined the military, a career that took the family through 10 moves in six states. Baker graduated from high school in Chesapeake, Va., and returned to Columbia to attend MU, where she completed a bachelor’s degree in educational studies in 1981. She worked for a year at Columbia Regional Hospital before leaving to attend Southern Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ky., where she earned a master’s degree in divinity. During and after completing her studies in 1986, she continued to work in health care. She served in administrative roles at two Atlanta health-care facilities before moving back to Columbia in 1998.
Upon arriving back in Missouri, she joined MU’s University Physicians practice plan, first serving as director of operations at Capital Region Medical Group in Jefferson City during the University’s management of the facility and then as interim executive director of the entire practice plan until 2002. She left the University at that time and found her own consulting firm, now Cura Advantage. In addition to operating her business, she has served as part-time administrative director for ACTS International, a not-for-profit, humanitarian organization dedicated to building partnerships that benefit the country of Georgia, and as an adjunct professor teaching managerial economics at Columbia College. She formerly served as vice chairman of the Missouri Petroleum Storage Tank Insurance Fund.
She and her husband, Dr. John D. Baker, are the parents of Sarah, 21, a junior at Mizzou; Lauren, 19, a freshman at Mizzou; and David, 15, a 11th-grade student at Rock Bridge High School.
