ST. LOUIS, MO – SSM Health is proud to announce that Hinton Healthcare Group, PC, has joined the SSM Health Medical Group family of providers. Effective May 1, one location in the greater St. Louis metro area and nine providers will become part of the SSM Health network.

This strategic move strengthens SSM Health’s commitment to expanding access to personalized, patient-centered care in the community. This partnership will enhance SSM Health’s primary, family, and pediatric services by incorporating one new family medicine provider, four new primary care providers, and four new pediatric providers into its existing healthcare team.

“At SSM Health, our mission is to provide exceptional care,” said Jeremy Fotheringham, St. Louis and Southern Illinois Regional President at SSM Health. “We’re honored to welcome the talented team from Hinton Healthcare Group, who share our values of compassion, respect, and excellence. Patients will receive the same trusted care they know and rely on, now with the added strength of a comprehensive health system behind them.”

Patients of Hinton Healthcare can expect a smooth transition. All existing medical records will transfer securely, and every effort will be made to honor currently scheduled appointments. Patients will also gain access to SSM Health’s full network of specialists, advanced technology, and seamless care coordination.

The Hinton Healthcare location included in the transition is Ballwin Family Medicine, located at 12 Hutchinson Road in Ballwin, MO.
