Welcome to SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital – Jefferson City
Information for Visitors
Visitors can be good medicine for patients. We encourage family members and friends to visit. In order to maintain a safe, comfortable healing environment, the following visiting guidelines have been established:
- Visitors must dress appropriately (shirts and shoes are required).
- Children should always be accompanied by an adult.
- Be quiet in respect for those patients who are resting.
- Friends and family members with a cold or other contagious illness are asked not to visit until they are well.
The chapel, located on the hospital's main floor by the main lobby, is open 24 hours daily. Mass is held Thursdays at noon.
For pastoral care and chaplain services, please dial “0” for assistance or call 573-681-3140 between 8 am and 4:30 pm, Monday through Friday.

Sacraments
Holy Communion is offered daily to our Catholic patients and to our Protestant patients upon request. Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick and Sacrament of Reconciliation may be celebrated with patients and their families upon request.
Your own minister, rabbi or priest is always welcome to visit you while you are here. If you need assistance contacting them, please let us know.
We know you have the best intentions. Unfortunately, sometimes outside gifts – such as food, drinks and flowers – can actually be harmful to patients. Please check with the unit nurse before bringing any gifts.
