Pros

Location, patient level employees care and are good

Cons

Management is extremely poor. They not only have no vision for the future but don't seem to know how to even manage a health system. Nursing to patient ratios are unsafe. There is never enough equipment. The turn over is so high that the most senior nurses have less than 2 years experience. The worse is that their billing practices are questionable, they contract out all sorts of jobs so a patient t will receive multiple bills from multiple specialties. Keeping g I like d those specialties aren't even related to SSM so they are much more aggressive with collecting debt. This system states it's a Catholic organization but I will tell you that is just not true. They are only Catholic from the outside meaning advertisements and commercials. Nothing Christian about this place.
