Grateful Patients, Grateful Families

If the dedication, expertise and compassionate care of an SSM Health physician or staff member has touched your life, or the life of someone you love, we invite you to recognize that person.

Say thank you to any member of your health care team. The person(s) you honor will receive special recognition and will be presented with a Guardian Angel lapel pin to wear with pride as a warm reminder of the difference they made to you. And you will have the satisfaction of helping the hospital provide life-saving services to our community.
