Community Health Needs Assessments

System Community Benefit Overview

Each year, SSM Health reinvests in our communities through charity care, medical education and research, as well as contributions to community health improvement services.

Based on findings from Community Health Needs Assessments (CHNAs) conducted in each of our communities, we work together with government agencies, charitable foundations, and other local organizations to provide a safety net, helping people access preventative care, investing in critical services, and bringing hope to individuals in difficult times.

In 2022, SSM Health invested more than $464 million in programs and services that have improved the health of our communities. That’s a community benefit equal to 7.7% of our system’s total annual revenues.*

*This number is a percentage of net patient service revenue plus premium revenue.
