Green Gives Back

The Cardinal Glennon Guild, in partnership with St. Louis Homes and Lifestyles and ASID, presents the 2008 Living Green Showhouse benefiting SSM Cardinal Glennon Children's Medical Center. The Showhouse, located two miles west ofI-270 in Sunset Hills overlooking the beautiful Tapawingo National Golf Club, will be open to the public with Cardinal Glennon sponsorship from October 18 to November 9.

SSM Cardinal Glennon Children's Medical Center first opened its doors in July 1956. The sun displayed prominently atop the SSM Cardinal Glennon Children's Medical Center name has been the hospital's symbol for many years. It means hope, warmth, caring, commitment and excellence. The childlike handwriting of the hospital's name embodies the reason for the hospital's existence: We are here for the children, now and in the future.

As the motto states, "At Cardinal Glennon, our love for kids just keeps on growing."

The proceeds from the 2008 Living Green Showhouse will be donated to the Pediatric Resuscitation and Life Support Training program, which will purchase high-tech equipment and simulators that provide training for the medical staff ¬without risk to patients. Simulators are used to advance technical skills, improve teamwork, develop communication skills, give hands-on experience and allow errors to occur without harm. Discussions following the exercises allow trainees to review the proper actions and reactions, ensuring that the medical staff will be better prepared for many kinds of emergencies.
