St. Louis County Children’s Service Fund Renews Support

The Right Start Program at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital was recently awarded a grant from the St. Louis County Children’s Service Fund (CSF) for the 2023 – 2026 Core Funding Cycle to support uninsured and underinsured patients ages 19 and under who reside in St. Louis County.

SSM Health Cardinal Glennon has been a recipient of CSF funding since 2012, improving access to mental health services, including diagnostics, psychiatry services and individual and family counseling for County youth and families. Services are offered at Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital, at St. Luke’s Hospital in west county and via telemedicine.

The St. Louis County CSF is Missouri’s largest children’s service fund, dedicated to connecting children and families to quality, accessible mental health services and treatment. CSF has invested more than $550 million in nonprofits and other agencies serving St. Louis County kids since 2010.
