Children’s Hospital

Thanks to the miracle of modern technology, I can stream radio stations in from other parts of the world. If you’re reading this, you can too!

It keeps me connected with friends and family back home to be able to listen to St. Louis radio. Today, on 97.1 FM, I heard a really awesome commercial for CChildren’s Hospital.

In it, a little girl asks, “What are all you numbers doing in the hallways of Children’s Hospital? Are you sick?”

To which a number replies, “No, we’re actually here to show how well we’re doing!” Each number; #7, #8, #1, etc. all represent a ranking that Children’s Hospital has for each of it’s departments. All the rankings are quite impressive! Children’s Hospital is a sister org of Barnes Hospital, the place that saved my life when I was 18.

I’m so proud my hometown has such an awesome institution for the health care of children. Now, if we can just figure out a way where kids never have to go to the hospital, we’ll be even better…
