New Women & Infants Center Now Open!
Our women and infants care moved to a brand new facility in the Central West End in February 2018. An expansion of Barnes-Jewish and St. Louis Children’s hospitals, the Women & Infants Center includes rooms for labor and delivery as well as C-sections, ample family visiting areas, and comfortable inpatient rooms for overnight stays. The labor and delivery space also connects to an all-private neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in the St. Louis Children’s Hospital expansion, which houses one of the top-performing neonatology teams in the country.
