Our program coordinates your child’s care, from consultation to post-procedure. During their time with us, they will see multiple specialists for a more comprehensive care approach. Collaborating with your child’s pediatrician, we strive to better understand every aspect or your child’s medical background and facilitate the necessary follow-up care to keep them healthy and safe.
For complex medical cases, we use our 3D Printing Center of Excellence to create detailed anatomic models unique to the individual. This allows for presurgical and preprocedural planning to improve patient outcomes and care.

At SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital, your child’s care journey starts with meeting with you and answering all of your questions.
