Children are referred from other pediatric healthcare facilities and children's hospitals. Ranken Jordan treats children from 2 weeks through 21 years of age with complex medical problems who require 24 hour nursing care and/or rehabilitative services while transitioning from the hospital to home. Visits are scheduled for Monday or Thursday morning. We encourage all students (M1-M4) interested in visiting to let us know and share Mon/Thur AM availability. This active observation experience has been highly endorsed by prior students.
The team at Ranken Jordan would appreciate if scheduled students who run into an emergency or an unexpected delay (Eg. car not starting, traffic accident) notify them (Sonja Hultz 314-872-6430)
