In 1998, SSM Health Care spent a year coming up with a single mission statement and values for its entire system. That process involved nearly 3,000 employees at every level of SSM, from every entity. Today that mission statement is 13 words -- short by design. Inspired by our founding religious sisters, our mission defines the way we do things. Because those words come from employees, they embrace the mission as their own.
 Mission
Through our exceptional health care services, we reveal the healing presence of God.
Values
Inspired by our founding religious sisters, we value the sacredness and dignity of each person. Therefore, we find these five values consistent with our heritage and ministry:
▪ Compassion
We reach out with openness, kindness and concern.
▪ Respect
We honor the wonder of the human spirit.
▪ Excellence
We expect the best of ourselves and one another.
▪ Stewardship
We use our resources responsibly.
▪ Community
We cultivate relationships that inspire us to serve.
SSM Health Care's Quality Principles
▪ Patients and other customers are our first priority.
▪ Quality is achieved through people.
▪ All work is part of a process.
▪ Decision-making by facts.
▪ Quality requires continuous quality improvement.
Vision
Through our participation in the healing ministry of Jesus Christ, communities, especially those that are economically, physically and socially marginalized, will experience improved health in mind, body, spirit, and environment within the financial limits of the system.
