SSM Health and Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital on Thursday announced plans to build a new hospital in St. Louis at the corner of Grand Boulevard and Chouteau Avenue.
Officials say the new hospital will be better equipped to meet the increasing demand for specialized pediatric treatments for newborns, children and teenagers in the region.
“We are devoted to building a healthier, brighter future – one where every child receives the care they need to thrive,” Dr. Hossain Marandi, Cardinal Glennon's president, said in a press release. “Together, we have an opportunity to envision the transformation of pediatric health care in the region, to serve more children and families who are depending on us, and further solidify our position as a national leader in caring for kids.”
