SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital

The new SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital is a 500,000 sf, 14-story, 200 inpatient bed, state-of-art, pediatric academic replacement hospital. It will incorporate the latest best practices in patient- and family-centered design, including large areas to accommodate families – parents, siblings, and grandparents – who are important to the healing journey. It will also support expanded and enhanced services including NICU (neonatal intensive care unit), ICU (intensive care unit), cancer, cardiology, and dialysis care in a therapeutic healing environment that seamlessly integrates the very latest technology and research to meet the evolving needs of the communities it serves both now and in the future.

Scheduled for completion in 2027, the new hospital is to be built at Chouteau Avenue and Grand Boulevard in the St. Louis' Midtown area. First opened in 1956, SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital was the nation’s first free-standing, not-for-profit Catholic children’s hospital, providing a much-needed beacon of hope and healing for children and families across St. Louis and beyond. Today, that pioneering commitment continues, and the hospital – which is nationally ranked in five specialties by U.S. News & World Report – is responding to the growing need for highly specialized neonatal and pediatric services with a brand-new healing facility designed to support world-class care for the next 70 years and beyond.
