📰 News we're reading

• Construction underway for 77-bed Webster Groves pediatric mental health hospital (stlpr.org) — A new 77-bed pediatric psychiatric hospital is rising just east of Rock Hill, near Rock Hill Road and Gore Avenue in Webster Groves, and is expected to open in late 2026. The facility, run by St. Louis Children’s Hospital and KVC Missouri, aims to ease the severe shortage of youth mental health beds that now forces many local families to seek care hours away.
