| General Statement 1 | Part III, Line 1: Description of Mission Our Mission Faithful to our Episcopal-Presbyterian heritage and its ministry of healing, St. Luke's is dedicated to improving the health of the communities we serve. Using talents and resources responsibly, we provide high quality, safe care with compassion, professional excellence and respect for each other and those we serve. Living Our Mission Mission outreach is a founding principle of St. Luke's Hospital, which had its beginnings February 28, 1866. We celebrate Founders' Day to remember our heritage and to honor our founders, whose vision we continue to live out each day. We remember and reaffirm our mission, which is the foundation supporting our service in and to the community. St. Luke's lives out its ministry of healing by dedicating itself to improving the health of the community through the wide array of services it makes available to the St. Louis metropolitan area. Our mission commitment includes the vital areas of community outreach, community health, community health information/education and community services. St. Luke's vision as an independent healthcare network is to create healthy communities in the region through our commitment to high quality, safe and personalized services. We stress education regarding lifestyles, nutrition, immunization and other methods of maintaining the health of the body and the spirit. We find new and innovative means of bringing this message to the community, including the underserved. St. Luke's provides quality medical care to patients regardless of race, creed, gender, national origin, handicap, age or ability to pay. As we continue to provide quality, safe and compassionate care to heal the acutely ill in our hospitals and other locations in a cost-efficient manner, we have also increased our efforts to assist those who are living with chronic disease in their homes, to relieve their suffering and improve their quality of life. St. Luke's Home Health and Hospice services are integral to this effort. As a not-for-profit organization, St. Luke's continues to provide much needed charitable care to people throughout the St. Louis area. We also support a wide variety of community causes and outreach efforts, both externally and internally, from sponsoring free clinics and screenings for the underserved to making available an employee crisis fund which serves team members in need. These important endeavors reflect our mission to serve by providing services for those who may otherwise go without. As we receive input, we measure and evaluate our efforts to be sure that what we do brings benefit to the people in our community. We continually refine our approaches to maintain and improve community health and wellness. |
| General Statement 2 | Part III, Line 4A: Program Services Description of Services Provided Medically-necessary health services are provided to all individuals in a non-discriminatory manner regardless of race, color, national origin, religion or ability to pay. Our independent network of care provides personalized healthcare services at our 493-bed hospital in Chesterfield, Missouri and 143-bed St. Luke's Des Peres Hospital. St. Luke's also offers more than 30 other locations across the greater St. Louis area, including an outpatient center, a skilled nursing/residential care facility, eight urgent care centers, a rehabilitation hospital, diagnostic imaging centers, physician offices, a vascular access center, home health services and hospice services. Nationally-recognized for clinical excellence and patient satisfaction, St. Luke's offers care in more than 60 specialty areas including cardiology and cardiovascular surgery, cancer care, orthopedics, bariatrics, neurosurgery and neurology, women's services (including obstetrics), pediatrics, urgent care, pulmonary medicine, sleep medicine and wellness services for adults with Down syndrome. Additionally, St. Luke's Hospital is the exclusive Spirit of Women Hospital in St. Louis and has been recognized as a Spirit of Women Premier Hospital for its focus on elevating the standards in women's health. The national designation is based on a comprehensive evaluation of innovation and excellence in women's healthcare and community outreach developed in consultation with the Office on Women's Health in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. To further our mission of providing care for the medically underserved and underinsured, St. Luke's Hospital operates a pediatric care center which provides healthcare to children in a private practice setting and education and social support services to their families. St. Luke's Hospital has a robust volunteer program. Our Volunteer Services Department has approximately 290 volunteers who serve in more than 20 departments/sites across St. Luke's network. Volunteers assist by transporting patients and visitors by wheelchair, stocking supplies, greeting and directing all visitors to our campus, and serving in clerical and receptionist roles. Volunteers contribute an average of 80,000 hours of service a year. For the second year in a row, St. Luke's Hospital in Chesterfield has been named one of America's 50 Best Hospitals for Cardiac Surgery, one of America's 100 Best Hospitals for General Surgery and one of America's 100 Best Hospitals for Prostate Surgery by Healthgrades. St. Luke's is the only hospital in Missouri to achieve all three designations two years in a row (2019-2020). The cardiac surgery honor places St. Luke's among the top 50 U.S. hospitals for superior results in coronary artery bypass grafting procedures and heart valve surgery. St. Luke's Hospital is also the exclusive alliance provider in St. Louis for the nation's No. 1 heart hospital, the Cleveland Clinic Heart, Vascular and Thoracic Institute. The general and prostate surgery designations also recognize St. Luke's for having superior outcomes. The general surgery rating includes bowel obstruction, colorectal, esophageal/stomach, gallbladder removal and small intestine surgeries. Also, for the sixth straight year, St. Luke's network of care has earned the Women's Choice Award as one of America's Best Hospitals. The 2020 honor recognizes St. Luke's as one of America's Best Hospitals for Bariatrics, Heart Care, Cancer Care, Obstetrics, Orthopedics and Patient Safety and as one of America's Best Breast Centers and Stroke Centers. WomenCertified Inc., an advocate for female consumers, created the national Women's Choice Award program. In addition, St. Luke's Hospital is a recipient of the Healthgrades 2020 Outstanding Patient Experience Award. This distinction places St. Luke's Hospital among the top 10 percent of hospitals nationwide based on an analysis of patient experience data. St. Luke's Hospital has also been named one of the Best Places to Work in St. Louis multiple times by the St. Louis Business Journal, most recently in 2020. St. Luke's Des Peres Hospital is a recipient of the 2020 Get With The Guidelines-Heart Failure Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award. The award recognizes the hospital's commitment to ensuring heart failure patients receive the most appropriate treatment according to nationally recognized, research-based guidelines founded in the latest scientific evidence. The goal is speeding recovery and reducing hospital readmissions for heart failure patients. St. Luke's Surrey Place has been named a Best Nursing Home for Short-Stay Rehabilitation by U.S. News and World Report. This is the second straight year St. Luke's Surrey Place has received the designation. To compile the ratings, U.S. News evaluated more than 15,000 facilities using data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' Nursing Home Compare. The short-stay rehabilitation rating is based on the quality of care that patients received at the skilled nursing facility while recovering from a hospital stay for 100 days or less. Resources invested and program services to support mission In support of our mission, St. Luke's Hospital provides care to patients regardless of their ability to pay, which includes those who lack financial resources and are deemed to be medically indigent. In addition, the organization provides services to other medically indigent patients under various state Medicaid programs. Such programs pay providers amounts that are less than the related costs for the services provided to the recipients. Each year, we invest considerable resources to improve the health, wellness and quality of life in our community. In response to identified needs, St. Luke's also benefits the community in the following ways: - St. Luke's support for the Residency in Internal Medicine program is an integral part of our service to the community by preparing new physicians. At any given time, there are about 40 medical residents in the program. This program provides a unique opportunity for training in primary care internal medicine at both St. Luke's and public health clinics serving the needs of the indigent population in the St. Louis area. St. Luke's medical residents also provide community service by speaking at schools and to various civic organizations. Training opportunities for health professionals in nursing, pharmacy and other health specialties are also available. - St. Luke's offers continuing medical education (CME) for physicians. The program recently earned a six-year accreditation with commendation by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), ranking among the top 25 percent of CME providers in the United States, including some of the nation's most prestigious medical schools. The program continues its proud tradition and service. - St. Luke's provides pastoral care services around the clock seven days a week as well as a fully accredited ACPE Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) Program. Both of these services are provided through St. Luke's Pastoral Care Department. St. Luke's Pastoral Care Department provides pastoral care to patients, their families and loved ones, visitors, team members and physicians at both hospitals and Surrey Place (St. Luke's skilled nursing facility) and also at St. Luke's Rehabilitation Hospital upon request. The Pastoral Care Department participates in St. Luke's ministry of healing by working with the healthcare team to provide holistic care for patients, their families, visitors, physicians and team members of all faiths. The department holds regular worship services, including Episcopal and Presbyterian Eucharist Services, Roman Catholic Mass, ecumenical worship services, morning and evening prayer services and other liturgical services on special feast days. Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) at St. Luke's Hospital, accredited by the Association of Clinical Pastoral Education, Inc., is theological and professional education for ministry. Chaplains of various faith traditions minister to persons in crisis situations, reflecting on their ministry encounters to develop their pastoral practice. - St. Luke's Mission Outreach Committee, comprised of team members across the organization, coordinates outreach efforts throughout the year. Team members, patients and physicians generously support initiatives such as winter clothing and toy drives, health screenings, food drives and school supply drives to assist the families of St. Luke's Pediatric Care Center, Isaiah 58 Ministries and Operation Food Search. |
| GENERAL STATEMENT 2 (CONTINUED) | - St. Luke's Pediatric Care Center is a mission-based agency of St. Luke's Hospital that has been providing care for medically underserved and underinsured children in the St. Louis region for more than 60 years. The Center, located in North St. Louis County, offers care for children from birth to age 18 in a private practice setting rather than in a clinic setting. The primary goal of the Center is to establish and maintain access to healthcare for families through a primary care physician, thereby helping them understand and deal with potential health issues before the issues become serious enough to require acute care. The staff consists of two full-time board certified pediatricians, as well as a site manager, registered nurse, social worker and office coordinator, all of whom are dedicated to improving healthcare for children and families. - We participate in the Meals on Wheels program, which provides meals to community residents who are not able to prepare meals for themselves due to their medical conditions. - Women's Health - St. Luke's helps educate women about important topics that impact their health and the health of their families. About 16,000 area women have joined this free membership program to receive health information from St. Luke's via emails, mailed class calendars and a women's health magazine. Through a website, women can access monthly health topics as well as easy-to-navigate preventive health information by decade of life. The community is invited to Spirit of Women programming and events throughout the year, ranging from smaller ask the physician format discussions to large interactive events such as St. Luke's Day of Dance. This event attracts more than 1,200 women each year who dance for their health and take advantage of free health screenings. - St. Luke's Passport to Wellness program partners with more than 200 local employers for worksite wellness programs, working with them to identify, address and eliminate employee health risks before they result in costly healthcare claims. Our team visits employers free of charge and collects personal health profiles from their employees. Then, we provide a group health report to identify the specific health risks present in their workforce and ways to address these risks. St. Luke's healthcare professionals coordinate and provide on-site low-cost health screenings (cholesterol, glucose, blood pressure, waist measurement), flu clinics, bone density screenings, lunchtime seminars, health coaching and ask the expert tabling events. Educational materials are provided at each offering for the employees and/or their family members. St. Luke's also provides employers with access to an Internet-based financial analysis tool that allows the employer to understand the health risks faced by workers, project how healthcare dollars will be spent and identify potential savings through the attainment of a healthier workforce. St. Luke's provides Health Information Centers (wall-mounted displays) at many employers, which are designed to educate employees on pertinent health issues and provide details regarding available health promotion activities. - St. Luke's Heart Failure Disease Management Program is a referral-based outpatient program designed to provide heart failure patients with effective, state-of-the-art disease management. This comprehensive, integrated program is designed specifically for patients living with heart failure. Patients work with their physicians and the program's multidisciplinary team to develop an individualized plan of care that includes cardiac diagnostic testing, management of medication, laboratory monitoring, education, counseling and follow-up. Patients and physicians may access the heart failure disease manager 24 hours a day. - St. Luke's Medical Group provides a nurse practitioner and medical assistant each Saturday morning to support the Healing Grace Clinic, housed on the grounds of the Central Baptist Church in Eureka, Missouri. This clinic provides medical care including office visits, testing and medications for people who are uninsured. St. Luke's Hospital has also provided equipment and supplies to the clinic at no cost. Additional services, such as imaging, are provided at no cost through arrangements with St. Luke's health care partners such as Centers for Diagnostic Imaging (CDI). - The Albert Pujols Wellness Center for Adults with Down Syndrome is solely devoted to providing services to adults, 17 years and older. Classes and programs are offered for adults with Down syndrome, covering topics focused on life skills including nutrition, exercise, money management, safety and social/emotional well-being plus those just for fun such as dancing and various arts and crafts. St. Luke's also offers caregiver classes on a variety of topics. - As part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, St. Luke's participated with other nonprofit hospitals in conducting a Community Health Needs Assessment in 2018-2019 to evaluate the community needs and ensure we are offering services to meet these needs. With this information, St. Luke's developed an implementation plan with ways to enhance our education and partner with community organizations to improve the quality of life in our community, specifically in the areas of diabetes prevention and self-management; opioid use disorder; health literacy and cultural competency; and access to care for older adults. The full Community Health Needs Assessment Report is available on the St. Luke's website at stlukes-stl.com.
