First in Facilities
St. Anthony's made a major re-investment in the south St. Louis County region by undergoing a $90 million hospital re-design. Completed in 2010, the project included:
- Cardinal Glennon Pediatric Emergency Care at St. Anthony's Medical Center, a separate pediatric emergency department.
- John K. Pruellage Heart & Vascular Center, the four-story “heart hospital within a hospital,” offering the latest in medical technology and patient-centered care.
- Ortho-Spine Center, dedicated to providing everything the ortho-spine patient needs – nursing care, therapies and related services – conveniently located on one floor.
- Renovation of existing hospital space created 14 additional surgery suites and a new interventional platform with equipment needed to accommodate a variety of imaging procedures such as interventional radiology, cardiac catheterization, cardiac electrophysiology and endovascular procedures and post-anesthesia recovery rooms.
Another major investment in our primary and secondary service areas includes the opening of a fourth urgent care center, Big Bend Urgent Care, to serve the Kirkwood, Webster Groves, Sunset Hills, Crestwood and Affton communities. Additionally, digital mammography has been added to the services offered at the Fenton Urgent Care. More than 115,700 patients visited St. Anthony’s urgent care center's last year.
