anken Jordan Pediatric Bridge Hospital’s annual gala, its largest annual event, was held recently at The Ritz-Carlton, St. Louis. Everyone came to celebrate 75 years of Mary Ranken Jordan’s vision. The evening featured cocktails, dinner, live and silent auctions, entertainment and much more. The gala was reminiscent of early spring tea parties on the lawn, where care beyond the bedside began in 1941, and came to become what we now know as Ranken Jordan Pediatric Bridge Hospital. Guests shared an evening of warm celebration and bright futures.

It is important for me to be the chairman of this event because this is how I can help. I’m not a doctor or nurse, but I want to help this hospital to raise muchneeded funds for much-needed children, and this is the best way I know how. TRACY GONSIOR, CHAIRPERSON
