Ranken Jordan Pediatric Bridge Hospital

What Ranken Jordan Pediatric Bridge Hospital does

Ranken Jordan Pediatric Bridge Hospital is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit pediatric specialty hospital founded in 1941 and headquartered in Maryland Heights, Missouri. It operates a 60-bed inpatient facility housed in a 137,000-square-foot campus (original 62,000 sq ft built in 2004, expanded by 75,000 sq ft in 2018) that delivers transitional healthcare for children from birth to age 21 with complex medical needs, including ventilator-dependent, tracheostomy, burn, spinal cord injury, and medically complex patients transitioning from acute hospital settings to home. The hospital is the first and only specialized pediatric bridge hospital in Missouri and one of only a few in the United States.

Its core service architecture centers on the proprietary Care Beyond the Bedside care philosophy, which encourages approximately 70% of waking hours to be spent outside patient rooms through play, therapy, and socialization, supported by mobile medical equipment and adaptive therapeutic infrastructure. Service offerings span inpatient specialties (Burn Care, Spinal Cord Injury Care, Respiratory Care, Nursing), therapeutic services (Physical, Occupational, Speech, Music, Horticulture, Therapeutic Art), and outpatient therapy programs (AAC, feeding therapy, FES, Galileo whole body vibration, VitalStim, intensive therapy, psychology, DME evaluations). Distinctive programs include the OZ (Optimization Zone) for developmental ages 0-5 and a simulated home environment for discharge preparation. Technology supports include the iCare caregiver communication app and an integrated electronic medical record platform.

Ranken Jordan generates revenue through healthcare service delivery reimbursed by Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance, supplemented by philanthropic contributions from individuals, corporations, and foundations (Berges Family Foundation, Riney Family, Saigh Foundation, Ameren Corporation Charitable Trust, and others). Patient acquisition is referral-led, drawing from acute care hospitals, healthcare providers, and families across Missouri and the broader Midwest. The hospital is governed by an independent Board of Directors, holds DNV accreditation integrating ISO 9001 with Medicare Conditions of Participation, and employs between 251 and 500 staff.
