As the first full-service hospital built in St. Louis County in 30 years, St. Clare Health Center offers the very best ideas in evidence-based health care design. Studies have proven a better-designed environment makes a measurable difference in your recovery. We’re using innovative thinking and design to make patient care safer, less frustrating, and to give you more control.

You will realize the difference as soon as you drive on our campus. We’ve provided close-in parking and easy accessibility to our many services. More convenience means less stress on the mind and body. Our beautiful grounds, complete with a walking trail and outdoor courtyards, provide a healing environment.

You’ll appreciate our simple, streamlined registration and helpful personnel. Because we’ve converted to an Electronic Health Record, your doctors, nurses and specialists will have real-time access to your complete medical history and won’t have to ask you the same questions over and over.
We have separate equipment serving inpatient, emergency and outpatient departments to minimize wait times.

In the event you need to be admitted, you’ll have a large, private room. Your nurse will be stationed directly outside your door, not down the hallway, as we’ve eliminated centralized nurses’ stations. Each patient’s medications are stored in his or her room. This means less wait time for you and keeps your medications separate from other patients’ medications. All of this means your caregiver can spend more time focusing on you.

Wood-grain cabinets hide medical equipment from view, making our patient rooms feel more like home, and we’ve added amenities such as in-room safes, flat screen TVs, wireless Internet and refrigerators. We’re doing away with needless sleep interruptions, and we’ve created a quieter, more soothing environment by installing sound buffers between rooms. Countless safety items have been added into the room, such as handrails from the bed to the bathroom and slip-resistant flooring.

We realize you want your family close by. Each private patient room has a family zone, with a pull-out sofa bed so a family member can spend the night. Patients can even order food for family members, along with themselves.

In every way possible, SSM St. Clare is rethinking the patient experience and redesigning a safer, more comfortable healing environment for everyone in the family.
