Sometimes a severe illness or injury can cause your child
to be in an unstable critical condition. A condition
like this requires critical care in a pediatric intensive
care unit (PICU) with the attention
of critical care nurses and pediatric critical care specialists (also called pediatric intensivists).
St. John's Mercy Children's
Hospital offers the only pediatric intensive
care unit (PICU) in St. Louis County with the specialized
staff and equipment to treat severe illnesses and injuries. Our PICU's
technology is matched
only by the experience and expertise of our staff of
pediatricians, pediatric nurses, and pediatric specialists and subspecialists
who care for children
around-the-clock.
Physicians throughout the St. Louis area transfer children
to St. John's Mercy Medical Center because they trust
St. John's Mercy's expertise in caring for children. Our west St. Louis
County location
also makes it convenient for the families who need
to use these specialized pediatric intensive care services.
