Care for Caregivers

At SSM Health Cardinal Glennon, our health care professionals take patient care seriously and feel a responsibility to provide patients with exceptional care. They can’t do that if they don’t make self-care a priority. Care for Caregivers, a hospital peer-to-peer support program saw an incredible year of growth.

Thanks to donor funding, a full-time program manager facilitates the SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Care for Caregivers Program, forming and growing valuable internal and external partnerships. In addition, a permanent Zen room for staff was created and dedicated on the third floor that includes a massage chair, self-care resources, aromatherapy, music and more.
