SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital
The new SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital has just opened up in Jefferson City, Missouri. Replacing the original hospital in downtown Jefferson City, the new facility contains a 366,000-square foot hospital, a 66,000-square-foot medical office building, and extensive landscaping with a healing garden, walking trail, courtyards, and water feature.
Featuring 172 private rooms with natural light and views of the surrounding landscape and city, the new hospital has demonstrated dramatic improvements in patient scores, including moving from 46th to the 82nd percentile in its HCAHPS hospital rating.
