Overview

SSM Health is a Catholic, not-for-profit integrated health system serving the Midwest, with 23 hospitals, hundreds of physician offices, outpatient centers, virtual care, and post-acute facilities, plus an health insurance company, a pharmacy benefit manager, and an accountable care organization. It coordinates care across the full spectrum—from clinics to hospitals to post-acute and virtual services—funding its activities through patient services, health plan premiums, and pharmacy benefits. Its differentiators include a faith-based nonprofit model and a diversified portfolio, along with a broad Midwest footprint that supports coordinated care and services for uninsured or Medicaid populations and a focus on behavioral health. The goal is to improve population health by delivering coordinated, accessible care across the continuum while pursuing clinical research and expanding behavioral health access for vulnerable communities.
