Mission and programs · 2024

• SINCE IT WAS FOUNDED IN 1872 BY CATHOLIC SISTERS, SSM HEALTH (SSMH) HAS EXISTED TO MEET THE HEALTH NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES. SSMH IS A CATHOLIC, NOT-FOR-PROFIT HEAL TH SYSTEM SERVING THE COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH NEEDS OF COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE MIDWEST THROUGH ONE OF THE LARGEST INTEGRATED DELIVERY SYSTEMS IN THE NATION. WITH CARE DELIVERY SITES IN ILLINOIS, MISSOURI, OKLAHOMA, AND WISCONSIN, SSMH INCLUDES 23 ACUTE CARE HOSPITALS, ONE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL, MORE THAN 300 PHYSICIAN OFFICES AND OTHER OUTPATIENT AND VIRTUAL CARE SERVICES, 10 POST-ACUTE FACILITIES, COMPREHENSIVE HOME CARE AND HOSPICE SERVICES, A PHARMACY BENEFIT COMPANY, A HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANY, AND AN ACCOUNTABLE CARE ORGANIZATION. THE HEALTH SYSTEM EMPLOYS NEARLY 40,000 PEOPLE AND IS AFFILIATED WITH 11,000 PHYSICIANS MAKING IT ONE OF THE LARGEST EMPLOYERS IN EVERY COMMUNITY IT SERVES. IN THE TRADITION OF ITS FOUNDING SISTERS, SSMH STRIVES TO FULFILL ITS MISSION BY PROVIDING EXCEPTIONAL HEALTH CARE TO EVERYONE WHO COMES TO ITS HOSPITALS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. THE SSM POLICY INSTITUTE (SSMPI) WAS CREATED TO IDENTIFY HEALTH CARE ISSUES OF SPECIAL CONCERN TO SSM HEALTH (SSMH) ESPECIALLY IN THE AREA OF QUALITY AND ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE AND TO EDUCATE LEGISLATORS AND THE COMMUNITIES SERVED BY SSMH. THE SSMPI BOARD HAS REVIEWED ISSUES AND RECOMMENDED POLICY POSITIONS TO SSM HEALTH'S SYSTEM LEADERSHIP IN THE PAST. SSMPI DRAFTED POSITION PAPERS THAT WERE SHARED WITH SYSTEM LEADERS TO BE USED WITH LEGISLATORS AND COMMUNITY LEADERS. THEY ALSO WERE SHARED WITH CONGRESSIONAL MEMBERS AND STAFF AS WELL AS LAWMAKERS AT THE STATE AND LOCAL LEVELS. THE SSMPI ALSO HELD LEGISLATIVE FORUMS IN ST. LOUIS AND IN WASHINGTON, D.C. WITH CONGRESSIONAL STAFF TO DISCUSS ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE IN GREATER DEPTH. THE SSMPI HAS DRAFTED A NUMBER OF POSITION PAPERS ON TOPICS RANGING FROM COMMUNITY BENEFIT TO THE IMPORTANCE OF THE ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD IN DELIVERING QUALITY HEALTH CARE OUTCOMES TO SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO STRENGTHEN THE MEDICAID PROGRAM. SEVERAL YEARS PRIOR TO THE CONSIDERATION OF HEALTH CARE REFORM AT THE NATIONAL LEVEL, THE SSMPI DRAFTED SSM HEALTH'S PRINCIPLES TO GUIDE HEALTH CARE REFORM, BASED ON THE SYSTEM'S MISSION AND VALUES.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

No itemized grant names this organization as a recipient. Only grants over $5,000 are itemized, and only by filers of the full Form 990.

Related organizations

From Schedule R Part II, where a filer lists the tax-exempt organizations it is related to by control. It does not record shared board members or money.
