SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital

Magnet recognition is the gold standard for nursing and is a factor when the public judges health care organizations. Receiving redesignation illustrates that SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital has not only met this gold standard of care but continued to maintain and improve care. We are so thankful for our incredible nurses who provide such amazing care to children and their families.

We can't believe it's already November! There has been so much happening at the site of the new SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital, we just couldn't wait to share a few updates with you. #BuildingOurFuture

Meet Juliana. She was diagnosed with cancer in 2020, and her journey has been full of challenges that no child should have to face. Through her difficult treatments and long hospital stays - one thing was for certain, the smile she would get when she saw our Duo Dog Thor. Thor was by her side providing her comfort and calmness that only a four-legged friend could offer. On this #GivingTuesday your support means everything to not only Juliana but for every patient that comes through our doors. Give today at https://lnkd.in/e3GCCwB

Today, we celebrated the news of our Magnet redesignation. We first received Magnet designation from the American Nurses Credentialing Center in 2019. As always, we have continued to hold ourselves to the rigorous standards of care with which it is associated. We hope you'll celebrate with us as we continue to provide exceptional pediatric care for many years to come.

There are some very tall new helpers at the site of the new SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital. These two tower cranes can be seen lifting lots of heavy materials during the day. Then, at night, they illuminate the sky in a dazzling red glow. With these two cranes, the McCarthy team is able to continue their hard work #buildingourfuture

On National Philanthropy Day, we want to celebrate the incredible impact of all our donors. Thank you to everyone who has helped us make these moments possible! Together, we are building a brighter future, one moment at a time. Happy National Philanthropy Day to all!

This Veteran's Day, we honor all who served in our armed forces. This map currently hangs in the SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Cafe, where veterans are invited to share where they have served. From all of us at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital, Thank you for your dedication and service to our country.

During Mission and Heritage Week at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital, we present the Team DAISY Award to those that exemplify exceptional care. This year, our Team DAISY Award was presented to the 2 South team who were nominated by a parent for their comfort and support after the loss of a child. An excerpt from their nomination reads: "They wept with me, they smiled with me, they embraced me and encouraged me. They reminded me of all of the light my son brought into this world and how he impacted all of them and made the world a better place. While I wish this day wasn't a part of his story, I am beyond thankful that the 2 South nurses were there to help me through it." Thank you to the 2 South team as well as our other nominees from the ACC Clinic and ED Unit Practice Council. We are so grateful for all that you do.
