St. John Hospital and Medical Center has been an essential part of the community since 1952. But as the needs of the community have grown and changed, we too must continue to grow and change to serve more patients with greater privacy while also making room for the most advanced life-saving technology.

Expanding and Renovating
|
| |
|
The hospital recently completed a $163 million expansion and renovation project that transforms our ability to be a world-class, regional destination for primary and advanced medical care and research. The project added square footage and capacity, and enhanced services and patient satisfaction through its innovative design.
|
 |
|
Enhancements include:
|
| |
|
A new main entrance and three-story atrium lobby, leading to a new Pavilion. The design provides easy access to patient services and more convenient parking.
|
 |
| |
|
A new 250,000 square-foot Pavilion, with 144 large, private rooms that adapts to patient conditions.
|
 |
| |
|
A new Diagnostic Imaging Center that brings all imaging modalities—nuclear imaging, vascular imaging, CT scanning, MRI, ultrasound and X-ray—together in one location adjacent to the new lobby.
|
|
| |
|
A new Heart and Circulatory Center that upgrades and consolidates all cardiovascular and vascular services in one area conveniently located off the new main entrance.
|
 |
| |
|
An expanded, redesigned Emergency Center that is nearly twice the size it was previously, with more than 70 large, private treatment rooms and a separate ambulance entrance.

$30 Million Goal Met - Gifts Still Accepted
A project of this magnitude requires substantial financial resources. Of the $163 million total cost, St. John Hospital has raised more than $31 million, exceeding its $30 million capital campaign goal, to help complete this historic project. Many families in the community have made major gifts to the campaign. Community organizations have joined together to raise essential funds. The St. John Guild and Fontbonne Auxiliary have made generous commitments to this project. Physicians and hospital employees have opened their hearts and pocketbooks to support this campaign.
An Exclusive Donor Preview was held in the fall of 2007 for top philanthropic donors to celebrate the opening of the Van Elslander Pavilion. In addition, prior to the opening of the newly completed St. John Guild Emergency Center in January 2009, a Dedication Event was held to honor the donors that made the expansion and renovation possible.
After the $30 million fundraising goal was met by the generosity of many donors, the campaign goal was increased to $32 million to meet additional expenses. Gifts are still being accepted to reach this amount.
