SSM Health Saint Louis University Hospital

SSM Health Saint Louis University Hospital is an academic medical center in St. Louis that serves as the teaching hospital for Saint Louis University School of Medicine and is exclusively staffed by SLUCare Physician Group. This three-pronged relationship between SSM Health, SLUCare and Saint Louis University School of Medicine is just one way we're changing health care. As an academic medical center, we are at the forefront of ground-breaking medical treatments and procedures—providing them to our patients, teaching them to our students and developing them through research and innovation. While we all strive to provide the latest in high-technology medicine, we also share a deep, Catholic heritage that empowers us to be caregivers at every level. We treat our whole patients—their bodies as well as their minds and spirits—with compassion and respect. We were the first Level 1 Trauma Center certified in Missouri and Illinois, and we currently treat more than 2,200 major trauma cases each year, the most of any trauma center in the area. The hospital is accredited by the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations. We are home to a renowned organ transplant program offering kidney, liver, pancreas and bone marrow transplants, as well as comprehensive cardiology program and blood and bone marrow transplant center. Saint Louis University Hospital is also the founder of the MidAmerica Stroke Network, a regional program that provides stroke care education to promote quality stroke care throughout the Midwest.
