St. Francis Hospital & Health Services was founded in 1894 with a mission to care for the sick.  In 1987, St. Francis became a member of the SSM Health Care System. We are a community based hospital with outreach clinics in three  nearby communities. Our physicians, employees, and volunteers are part of a team and heritage. They join us for different reasons, but stay because they find respect, opportunity and excellence. While we are diverse in our backgrounds, cultures, and experiences, we share a common goal to provide the best care for our patients.  Our mission:  “Through our exceptional health care services, we reveal the healing presence of God.”
