North St. Louis
County - SSM DePaul Health
Center is excited to announce the opening
of a brand new 20-bed patient unit. This telemetry
unit is part of the SSM Neurosciences Institute
and has been specially equipped and staffed
to treat stroke patients and others needing
complex neurological care.
"In the past year, the number of stroke
victims treated at DePaul increased by 17-percent.
So opening this new unit is crucial to being
able to meet the growing need for specialized
and comprehensive stroke care in our community,"
said Sean Hogan, SSM Network V.P. of Ambulatory
Services and Neurosciences.
The new unit is located in the north wing
of the hospital's 7th floor. The space was
being used to house the SSM network's finance
department. But the department has moved off
campus and the space has undergone a massive
$5.2 million renovation to convert it into
a new in-patient unit.
DePaul is a 457 bed hospital with a 181 year
history of exceptional care in St. Louis.
It is a part of the SSM Health Care system
and operates the only level II trauma center
in North St. Louis County.
