Saint Louis University Hospital
Since 1933, the copper roof of Saint Louis University Hospital has defined the midtown St. Louis skyline. It symbolizes a promise: that at Saint Louis University Hospital, we offer the best in knowledge, technology and care.
The promise continued in 1988 with the opening of a new 362-bed facility equipped with state-of-the-art technology and comfortable accommodations for patients and visitors.
As both a quaternary care and trauma center, Saint Louis University Hospital concentrates on the treatment of acutely ill and injured patients.
Health care professionals, support staff and volunteers work together to fulfill the promise etched against the skyline. Guided by the Jesuit philosophy and the leadership of Tenet Healthcare Corporation, our hospital will continue to distinguish itself as a leader in health care throughout our community.
