Missing hospital in St. Louis
These are all the same place, with different names at different times. The parent place also changed in 1877 when St. Louis became a city independent from the county. Most of the history can be found here, and confirmed in various censuses and newspaper articles.

Note that for this very last entry, although it's still the same chartered hospital (with a new name), the hospital moved to a different building just across the street, and the GPS coordinates changed very slightly. If the GPS coordinates for linked places must remain the same for each place, you can probably just ignore the changed coordinates. It's probably more important that these places be linked together than to distinguish a move of only about 500 feet. (I don't even know if FamilySearch stores coordinates at a precision that can distinguish between them.)
