Department Of Pediatrics
The Department of Pediatrics of Saint Louis University School of Medicine is based at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital in St. Louis, adjacent to Saint Louis University's campus.
The Department of Pediatrics has approximately 150 full-time faculty and another 20 part-time faculty. We have outstanding educational programs for residents and medical students. Forty-four of our faculty were also recognized in the most recent publication of "Best Doctors in America."
Our physicians are proud to be inclusive and to host the region's widest range of payors accepted. Our faculty aggressively innovate in, and support, the primary care setting, but also individualize for the chronic, complex care patients and for those with rare diseases. Basic science research, new drug trials, translational research and educational research are all valued and highly sought after at this institution.
The educational activities of the department include medical students of all levels, 52 resident physicians based at Cardinal Glennon, 20 pediatric sub-specialty fellows, many resident physicians who rotate from partner institutions for pediatric exposure and numerous allied health students. Family-centered rounding, patient education initiatives, music therapy, and links to schools are integrated into this complicated and fast moving health care environment.
Our Leadership Our MissionWe strive to improve children's health by providing patient care, education and research in a unique shared environment of inquisitive minds, compassion and respect for human dignity, embodied and fostered by Saint Louis University and SSM Health.
Academic SupportWe have a functional relationship with Saint Louis University's Department for Health and Clinical Outcomes Research in the Saint Louis University School of Medicine to facilitate academic projects for trainees and faculty.

Division Of Pediatric Cardiology
As a joint cooperative of Children's of Alabama and the University of Alabama at Birmingham, we are leaders in comprehensive pediatric and adult congenital cardiac care for the people of Alabama and Southeast United States.
Patient CareThe novel design of facilities involving both Children's of Alabama and University of Alabama at Birmingham embodies a visionary concept which allows the patient (whether still in the womb, a newborn, a teenager or an adult) to receive care in an environment best suited for his/her health needs. The Joseph S. Bruno Heart Center located in the Benjamin Russell hospital for Children physically links the newly constructed pediatric cardiac center with the newborn suites of the Women and Infants Center and then to the adult congenital heart surgery facilities at UAB. This provides a continuum of care for patients with congenital heart disease and allows our multidisciplinary team of specialists to move efficiently from one end of the platform to the other.
Clinical OutcomesThe Pediatric and Congenital Heart Center at Children's of Alabama carefully records all clinical outcomes after pediatric heart surgery, including survival. Learn more here.
Cardiac Critical CareAt the Children's of Alabama Bruno Heart Center, our 20-bed Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit (CVICU) cares for children in need of specialized care for their cardiac condition.
Our multidisciplinary team includes cardiovascular intensivists trained in pediatric cardiology, pediatric critical care and neonatology. They work alongside our cardiac surgeons and together with a team of highly specialized nurses, respiratory therapists, and nurse practitioners to provide the best care for our patients.
Research and Quality Initiative (QI) projects are an integral part of delivering expert care to our patients in the CVICU. Our Clinical Guidelines have led to improved outcomes as highlighted below.
We understand that children requiring cardiac critical care can be a highly stressful time for both patients and their families. We are committed to providing our patients with the best care possible from our expert team of pediatric subspecialists.
