Ranken Jordan's Annual Crystal Ball Gala Celebrating 75 years!

at Ritz-Carlton, St. Louis 100 Carondelet Plaza, St. Louis, MO 63105 benefiting Ranken Jordan Pediatric Hospital at 6:00PM

Ranken Jordan Pediatric Hospital celebrated 75 years of Mary Ranken Jordan’s vision, Saturday, January 16, 2015, with an evening gala at the Ritz-Carlton, St. Louis. The evening, reminiscent of those early spring tea parties on the lawn where “Care beyond the Bedside” began in 1941, shared the intimate warmth and bright futures Ranken Jordan is known to give its pediatric patients. The festivities included hors d’oeuvres, cocktails, silent auction, dinner and live auction, followed by dancing featuring the Charles Glenn Band.

Ranken Jordan, a pediatric bridge hospital, provides a continuum of care for medically complicated children and their families. Its vision revolves around a leadership in offering intensive transitional care and living support for children with complex medical conditions and their families. Ranken Jordan will distinguish itself by its expertise, service, high quality and safe patient care, communication, coordination, innovation and relationship building.
