At SSM Health, our Mission and Values compel us to treat our employees with compassion and respect. We are committed to our employees’ right to make a free and informed choice as to whether or not they wish to be represented by a union; however, we do not believe that unionization is in the best interest of our employees, our patients, or our hospital and clinics.

We support our employees with a comprehensive benefits package that goes beyond competitive pay to deliver meaningful overall value.
