Increased access to specialized pediatric care moved one step closer to becoming a reality today as CoxHealth and @STLChildrens announced an agreement to expand pediatric care in southwest Missouri. Along with the expertise of WashU Medicine Physicians’ pediatric specialists, we will work collaboratively to bring advanced care to children in southwest Missouri, reducing the need to travel long distances for specialty care. Initial efforts focus on expanding pediatric inpatient care and the construction of a comprehensive outpatient center that will include ambulatory surgery, pediatric specialty care clinics, imaging, laboratory services, and infusion. “St. Louis Children’s Hospital and @washumedicine are national leaders in pediatric care,” said Max Buetow, CoxHealth President and CEO. “We are excited to work together to expand access to pediatric specialty care for hundreds of thousands of children who live in this region. It is equally gratifying that our collective vision aligns with our community’s desire for us to deliver care locally and make Springfield a medical hub in this region.”
