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.

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.

Our 40,000 team members and more than 12,800 providers are part of this incredible legacy and have a deeply rooted commitment to providing personal and compassionate care.
