    Pros

    Not terribly high acuity. Lots of hospitals in the area that take the higher acuity patients. Not dealing with as many rough patients as other hospitals in STL thankfully.

    Cons

    Very nit picky and they act like EVERYTHING is an emergency. As with any hospitals they have some mean girls who peaked in high school and decided to become nurses.
