Extraordinary Care Beyond Hospital Doors
For too many families in St. Louis, health is compromised by social biases, economic challenge and lack of health-promoting resources. The negative effects of an unhealthy childhood can last a lifetime, affecting generations to come.
Your investments are increasing more equitable access to healthcare throughout the region. Whether they come through the doors at one of our clinical facilities, step aboard our Healthy Kids Express mobile units, visit with us at a community hub, or see a behavioral healthcare specialist while at school, St. Louis Children’s is here to provide extraordinary care that meets the needs of every child.
As demand for these essential services continues to grow, we have an opportunity to reach even more children – and to provide all families with access to the resources they deserve.
St. Louis Children’s has placed virtual and embedded teams of mental health specialists in schools across St. Louis.
The only mobile health program in St. Louis bringing nationally ranked care to more than 13,000 children and families per year.
