Welcome to Saint Louis University Hospital. Through our affiliation as the teaching hospital for the Saint Louis University School of Medicine, we provide to our patients and families an environment of medical innovation. As an academic medical center, we are at the forefront in developing and providing the latest medical treatments and procedures. We strive to be renowned for our ability to combine high-tech medicine with a compassionate, personal touch.

The strength that sets us apart is our ability to recognize that, although we are an urban teaching hospital with the latest in medical technology, our medical staff and employees make the difference. We are smaller than many major medical centers (only 356 beds), and we see this as an advantage. At times, major academic medical centers can be overwhelming to patients and families. Our hospital is just the right size to allow our staff of doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals to get to know each other well and form a close-knit team. It also allows us the ability to get to know our patients and families better.

We are extremely pleased to work with our medical staff partners, the SLUCare physicians, in providing excellent patient care and advanced technology. SLUCare is the physician practice of Saint Louis University School of Medicine. Each of SLUCare's physicians is involved in teaching tomorrow's health care professionals and researching the cures and treatments of the future, as well as providing the latest in patient care both at Saint Louis University Hospital and on an outpatient basis.

As you visit our web site, we hope that you will discover that Saint Louis University Hospital is a community for healing where knowledge, compassion and deep spiritual values come together.
