Our Mission
 Rooted in the mission of Jesus and the healing ministry of the Church, and
faithful to Catherine McAuley’s service tradition marked by justice,
excellence, stewardship and respect for the dignity of each person, the Sisters
of Mercy Health System – St. Louis implements and advocates for innovative
health and social services to improve the health and quality of life of
communities served, with particular concern for persons who are economically
poor.
Mercy Health Plans, Inc. exists to extend the Sisters of Mercy Mission by:
- Creating benefit plans that link communities to a high quality, preferred
health care network;
- Accepting risk, responsibility and accountability for health status,
treatment outcomes and cost-effective care;
- Using the special skills and capabilities of managed care professionals to
improve access to health services for all;
- Taking responsibility for contributing to the larger community’s health
and well-being, with particular attention to the medically underserved; and
- Operating in a manner that stewards resources, provides value and treats
all individuals with dignity and respect.
All of this is done in fidelity to the Catholic tradition and the Church's
moral and religious teachings.
