Form 990, Part III, Line 4a Program Service AccomplishmentsSince it was founded in 1872 by Catholic sisters, SSM Health (SSMH) has existed to meet the health needs of the communities it serves. SSMH is a Catholic, not-for-profit health system serving the comprehensive health needs of communities across the Midwest through one of the largest integrated delivery systems in the nation. With care delivery sites in Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin, SSMH includes 23 acute care hospitals, one children's hospital, more than 300 physician offices and other outpatient and virtual care services, 10 post-acute facilities, comprehensive home care and hospice services, a pharmacy benefit company, a health insurance company, and an Accountable Care Organization. The health system employs nearly 40,000 people and is affiliated with 11,000 physicians making it one of the largest employers in every community it serves. In the tradition of its founding sisters, SSMH strives to fulfill its mission by providing exceptional health care to everyone who comes to its hospitals, regardless of their ability to pay. The purpose of the SSM Health Hospice and Home Health Foundation is to help our most vulnerable patients realize the full benefit of the exceptional health care services provided by our caregivers. The Foundation serves communities in the Saint Louis and St. Charles metro regions, and Southern Illinois. The Foundation's mission is to meet patients' needs that insurance companies will not pay for, but are necessary to the success of their care, including the most basic needs of food, shelter and medical care. Our programs respect and emphasize the dignity of each patient, thus supporting SSMH's Mission: "Through our exceptional health care services, we reveal the healing presence of God." Programs supported by the Foundation included: - "Dr. Robert Kingsbury Patient & Family Emergency Assistance Fund" is a safety net that provides our patients and families with necessities that private insurance, Medicare and/or Medicaid won't cover. These items may include: rent payment, utility payments, groceries, prescription drug costs not covered by insurance, medical equipment and home adaptations/modifications necessary for a patient to remain at home. Patients must be on Medicaid or meet specific charity requirements established by SSM Home Care. In 2021, we helped a total of 118 patients and family members through our emergency assistance fund. - "Vickie Horst Home Care Rehabilitation Services" for Physical, Occupational and Speech Therapy is available for home care patients who are without insurance to pay for these therapies. 59 individuals were served in 2021. - "Comfort Touch Massage Therapy" techniques utilized by our certified massage therapists help promote relief from pain and ease tension and anxiety for our hospice patients. Complimentary massages are offered to patients in the St. Louis/St. Charles and Illinois regions. 171 individuals received massage therapy in 2021. - Through "Peaceful Harmony Music Therapy," our certified music therapist can decrease pain and anxiety for our hospice patients, promote relaxation, and improve their overall quality of life in their precious last months and days. Our therapist uses tools ranging from listening to performing to writing and recording in order to meet the social, emotional, spiritual, physical, and cognitive needs of our patients and families. 178 patients received music therapy in 2021. "MAGIC Children's Bereavement Program" is designed to help children who have experienced the loss of a loved one grieve properly so that they can move forward in their lives. Our professional staff helps children and families develop strategies for coping, communicating and healing. There is no charge for this program, which includes bereavement kits for children impacted by a loved one's death. - "My Legacy" ensures that our patients' memories endure for their loved ones before they pass away through video interviews or photographs. My Legacy gives our hospice patients the opportunity to have a video and/or photo session that will preserve the stories, values, ideals and experiences that have shaped their lives and will bring comfort and historic value to their families for years to come. As with our other Foundation programs, donations help us provide the My Legacy services to patients and families free of charge. - "Peaceful Moments" provides a companion for hospice patients during their last hours of life. This program ensures no one dies alone and offers relief and comfort for struggling families. - "Memories That Last" end-of-life wish fulfillment honors the lives of our hospice patients by granting wishes that connect patients and their loved ones. Granted wishes may include arranging visits to a professional baseball game and Broadway musical production, purchasing a Thanksgiving meal for a patient and family, and taking photographs of a family reunion. - "We Honor Veterans" is a program designed to recognize Americans for their military service as well as provide valuable resources to Veterans receiving end-of-life care. SSM Health at Home Hospice, in partnership with the Department of Veterans Affairs and the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, provides the tools necessary to provide comfort to patients with a history of military service and possibly physical or psychological trauma. SSM staff members are trained to respectfully inquire as to the patient's past military service, provide a listening ear, and gratefully acknowledge his or her service to our country. Most of our programs would not be possible without the generous financial support of local families and businesses.
