Quality 

By the Numbers

Founded in 1905 by the Franciscan Sisters of Mary, St. Mary’s was the first hospital in Jefferson City and has continued its legacy as the area’s leading provider of health care.

It is the most preferred hospital in its market for a reason: St. Mary’s scores on quality care are in the top tier of hospitals nationwide, as shown by standard measurements of patient care.

Furthermore, surveys in 2007 showed that more than nine out of 10 St. Mary’s patients were satisfied or very satisfied with their care. 

That commitment to quality has not gone unnoticed. St. Mary’s is a member of the St. Louis-based SSM Health Care System, the first health care organization in the nation to receive the prestigious Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award.
