Receptionist - PRN - Ranken Jordan Pediatric Bridge Hospital

Ranken Jordan is the country's first pediatric bridge hospital. Inpatients and outpatients with complex medical conditions, injuries and illnesses come to our one-of-a-kind facility from throughout the region to get better faster and prepare for the transition back to home.

A Peek Behind the Room Divider:

• Founded in 1941 by Mary Ranken Jordan who implored her staff to"...consider the children, first, in all that we do."These words still guide every employee, every day.
• Our guiding mission is to help kids and their families' transition from hospital to home. That means we practice world-class pediatric medicine to treat the symptoms but we also train parents and caregivers to provide a high-level of care at home so patients continue to progress after discharge
• "Care Beyond the Bedside"means that our kids receive their therapies and rehab away from their rooms and out of their beds as much as 70% of the day. The rest of the time, they are playing just being kids in our state of the art facility designed to inspire children!
• In 2002 we opened our current 34 inpatient hospital in Maryland Heights, MO. In early 2018 we are opening a 78,000 sq. ft. addition to double our inpatient beds to 60+ and expand our outpatient practice.
• We also offer Community Programs that provide wonderful recreational and educational programs for all kids and their families...at no charge!
