This , we're extra grateful for St. Louis Blues goalie and Stanley Cup Champion Jordan Binnington, defenseman Tyler Tucker, and everyone’s favorite mascot Louie for a special visit with our kids last week! 🏒

The visitors took photos and signed autographs for patients, families and staff. Best of all, they made some time for ! The warmth and joy was impossible to miss and just what the doctor ordered during these chilly months.❄️

As always, a huge shoutout to our incredible staff who always find creative ways to help kids of all abilities join in the fun. Sometimes, Care Beyond the Bedside looks like a game of indoor hockey with the pros!

Thank you, Blues, for bringing so many smiles to Ranken Jordan! 💙💛

At Ranken Jordan, nothing makes us happier than seeing our kids get stronger and head home. But for families of medically complex children, going home takes preparation, confidence, and support. 🏡

That’s why we’re so excited to introduce Sim Home, our brand-new Simulated Home Environment. To the best of our knowledge, it’s a first-of-its-kind space in Missouri where families can “practice” caring for their child in a home-like setting before discharge.

The Sim Home experience includes an overnight stay and Ranken Jordan nurses nearby if the family needs help with anything. Its purpose is to give parents the comfort, privacy, and skills they need to feel ready for the next chapter.

Read more about Sim Home and why we created it in our latest article from Chief Nursing Officer, Kristin LaRose: carebeyondthebedside.org/meet-sim-home-space-for-families/

What makes being a Ranken Jordan nurse inspiring, fun, and rewarding?

🩺Time to connect: Patients stay with us longer than in acute care hospitals (45–60 days), so you get to know them and their families.

🩺 See your impact: Celebrate first steps, new words, and breakthroughs in real time.

🩺 Healing = Play: Think playground walks, music jams, a busy art room.

🩺 Grow your skills: Our Care Beyond the Bedside model helps nurses build confidence across a wide range of care settings.

🩺 Support from day one: Low nurse-to-patient ratios, Clinical Ladder growth pathways, loan forgiveness, and day-one benefits.

If you’re looking for a nursing role where you can find purpose in your practice, we’d love to hear from you.

Meet Evelyn! 💚🏕️

Evelyn arrived at Ranken Jordan following brain tumor removal. During her inpatient stay, she celebrated huge milestones: removing her trach and regaining strength every day.

Now transitioned to our outpatient therapy program, Evelyn continues to amaze everyone. She relearned to walk, eat by mouth, and later without a g-tube. With every acomplishment, Evelyn gained strenght and confidence!

And that’s where camp comes in.

Evelyn attended both our Summer and Winter Adventure Reimagined camps, where she laughed, played, and rediscovered what it feels like to simply be a kid again after long hospital stays. As she learned new motor skills through the therapeutic activities, her brother Emmett even joined camp, making new memories alongside her.

Children like Evelyn inspire us every day. That's why we are so excited to bring CAMP to this year's Trivia Night: The Great Ranken Jordan Camp Out!

Date: January 17, 2026
Time: 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm (doors open at 6:00 pm)
Location: The Moolah Shrine Center

Your support ensures more kids can join campfires full of courage, friendship, and healing. ❤️‍🩹
