BJC HealthCare and Saint Luke’s Health System have announced plans to merge assets to create an integrated Missouri-based healthcare system, aiming to improve access, affordability, and quality of care across the state. The merger is expected to expand patient access to healthcare services, increase access to tools and technology for healthcare teams, and address healthcare disparities in local communities. The hospitals hope to come to a definitive agreement by the end of 2023, with dual headquarters in St. Louis and Kansas City and keeping their current names.
