Each and every day, St. John’s is working to improve
your health.
Whether it’s by introducing the latest treatments and
therapies to battle disease, partnering with other organizations to
improve health or sharing a prayer with a patient, St. John’s continues to
address the health care needs of our region.
From the two-room house on Springfield’s Main Street in
1891 to today’s St. John’s – the region’s most comprehensive integrated
health care network – we’ve grown. We’ve changed. The knowledge and
passion of our physicians, nurses and other health care professionals
drive that change. The mission set forth by our foundress, Catherine
McAuley, to improve health care with a personalized approach has been a
guidepost for how we deliver care, even in today’s fast-paced, high-tech
world.
The delivery of health care is complicated, however, by
a challenge to meet a variety of needs. Employers desire to keep costs low
while ensuring a healthy, productive work force. Health consumers desire
the most state-of-the-art technology and therapies. Health care providers
strive to recruit the top talent in a competitive job market.
There is no single answer to solve the health care
dilemmas of our time, so we rely on our expertise, compassion and
innovation to reinvent health care and the way it is delivered.
We’ve learned that high-quality, focused care leads to
healthier people and fewer trips to the doctor’s office. We’ve learned
that efficient, patient-centered facilities improve both the quality and
cost-effectiveness of health care delivery. We’ve learned that a
physician-led and professionally managed multi-specialty clinic within a
large integrated health system like St. John’s attracts the
highest-caliber physicians in the country.
St. John’s continues to raise the bar on quality and
patient service as shown by our selection as a Top 20 Health System and a
Top 10 Clinic. St. John’s Hospital has also received national recognition
for patient satisfaction and quality.
We’re confident that our history, strong mission and
unique approach position us to proactively meet the health care needs of
the communities we serve.
Together, we have an answer.
