Welcome to the Pediatric Cardiology and Cardiothoracic Surgery Department at SSM Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center.
The Cardiology Department at Cardinal Glennon Children's Medical Center is dedicated to providing patients with a high quality of living and a happy, healthy heart.
Our skilled physicians use state-of-the-art technology to detect problems very early, including the fetal stage. In fact, we offer a fetal cardiology clinic that detects heart problems before birth and allows for families to prepare before their baby is born.
At Cardinal Glennon, we treat patients from before they are born throughout adulthood. Our Cardiology Department is committed to providing the best possible care to every patient and their family.
By choosing Cardinal Glennon, you can expect a team of staff who will remain devoted to caring for your child before and after treatment and counsel both your child and your family. We offer individualized care and attention to each and every patient.
