he grand openings of the new patient care wing and expanded emergency room at SSM Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital have been targeted
for Saturday, August 23.

The four-story wing will hold 48 private inpatient rooms and a new and enlarged ambulatory care center. The facilities incorporate many new technological features and amenities for patients and their families. When the new rooms become available, renovations on existing patient rooms will commence to convert them to a private configuration.

The first phase of the new Dan Dierdorf Emergency and Trauma Center opened January 27. The second phase, which will result in a doubling of emergency and trauma facilities, also is due for completion in August.

The projects, marking the latest chapter in the renewal of
the hospital campus, were designed with the intent of
making Glennon the most child- and family-friendly
hospital in America.
