From St. Louis Business Journal: St. Luke’s Hospital has received a $25 million gift it says will aid construction of a new emergency department.
The money includes $15 million from the Crawford Taylor Foundation, launched in 1997 by the late Enterprise Mobility founder Jack Taylor, and $5 million from members of the Taylor and Kindle family. Jo Ann Taylor Kindle is Jack’s daughter.
St. Luke’s said that planning and design for the new ER at its Chesterfield hospital has already begun, with construction timelines and other details to be announced in the coming months. It said the facility will feature “leading-edge technology, expanded treatment areas, and a modernized patient experienced designed to meet the demands of a growing population.”
Jo Ann Taylor Kindle said in a statement that “St. Luke’s has been part of our family’s story for generations, and we believe deeply in its mission.”
“By investing in the new Emergency Department, we are helping ensure that patients across the St. Louis region have access to exceptional care when and where they need it most,” she said.
