SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital is the only free-standing Catholic pediatric hospital in the country.
When SSM Health Cardinal Glennon opened its doors in 1956, a promise was made to the community that any child in need of care would be welcomed, whether their parents could afford to pay for care or not. That promise still holds true today.
Many of you will remember the story of John Smith, a young man who fell through the ice of a frozen lake and was without a pulse for nearly an hour. His odds- defying recovery is the subject of the new movie, Breakthrough.
Our Lady of Lourdes, please join us in helping make miracles like John's possible by making a donation at Mass during Glennon Sunday weekend, June 1-2 or online at glennon.org.
On behalf of our patients and families, may God bless you for providing hope, healing, faith and compassion to every child who walks through the doors at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon. Sunday, May 19, 2019 Page 7
