A Partnership Changing Lives: How Ranken Jordan and STL Help Work Together to Connect Families with Medical Equipment

At Ranken Jordan, we pride ourselves on being innovators in pediatric healthcare. Sometimes innovation is as simple as connecting with a partner to make the impossible possible for our patients and their families. While we love spending time with our patients when they’re here, our main goal is to make sure they get home and have what they need to thrive after the hospital. Two Ranken Jordan therapists exemplify this mission through their volunteer work with STL Help, a local organization that lends health equipment to those who need it.
