SSM Health
At SSM Health, we believe in the healing power of presence. We know that exceptional health care is more than medicine - which is why we continue to build upon the legacy of healing started in 1872.
Our Commitment to Exceptional Care
At SSM Health, we care about you. And when you come into one of our hospitals, clinics, or doctor’s offices, we want you to receive the best care possible. Across our ministries, we are committed to continually improving what we believe are the three elements of exceptional care: high quality outcomes, an excellent patient experience, and a safe environment for our patients and staff. Here, you’ll find information about how we’re meeting these standards of excellence.
