SSM Vision Statement 

Through our participation in the healing ministry of Jesus Chirst, communities especially those that are economically, physically and socially marginalized, will experience improved health in mind, body, spirit and environment within the financial limits of the system.

SSM St. Joseph Hospital West is dedicated to helping our neighboring communities. In spite of all we do, there are more than 46 million Americans who have no health care insurance and many millions more that do not have adequate insurance.  SSM Health Care spent more than we ever have in our 135-year history to care for people without insurance.  In 2006, St. Joseph Hospital West proudly committed over $3 million back to our community through charity care, donations and employee volunteer efforts. We are proud to cultivate relationships that inspire us to serve.
