The Healing Power of Presence
At SSM Health, we believe in the healing power of presence. While we do not discount the physical healing that takes place across our system, we know that exceptional health care is more than medicine. It is how we choose to care for our patients and customers: by taking the time to listen, to understand, to answer questions, to hold hands, or even to pray. These are the moments when we reveal God’s healing presence in a powerful and enduring way.
Healthy Culture
At SSM Health, we’re committed to creating a healthy culture that promotes the individual dignity and well-being of everyone we work with and serve. This is an integral part of who we are and a reflection of our Mission, Vision, and Values.
Honoring Our Heritage
Our heritage of healing began in 1872 when five Catholic sisters arrived in St. Louis from Germany. They had $5 between them, but carried the faith and compassion to begin the extraordinary ministry that would become SSM Health.
We are SSM Health
We Believe in the Healing Power of Presence
Our more than 40,000 team members and more than 15,000 providers are part of this incredible legacy and have a deeply rooted commitment to providing personal and compassionate care. That is why we take the time to get to know our patients better as people, so we can treat them better as patients. This is who we are.
