COVID-19 Updates

SSM Health is now offering both the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccine to children 6 months or older. Call your pediatrician to schedule and don't forget to request proxy access to your child's health record.

At SSM Health, we are eager to provide the COVID-19 vaccine, including the booster, as quickly and safely as possible to all who are eligible. It is recommended that everyone 5 years or older get one booster after completing the COVID-19 vaccine primary series. The second booster is recommended for everyone 50 years and older and certain priority populations.

At SSM Health, we know you and your loved ones still need access to high-quality health care services. Our hospitals, urgent care centers and physician offices remain open and ready to provide care if and when you need it. We are now offering vaccines for children ages six months and older.

For routine appointments, SSM Health is offering telehealth visits where appropriate during which patients can meet with a provider about their health concerns from the comfort of their own home. Telehealth visits are an excellent option for a variety of conditions and follow-up visits such as:

• Chronic illness and care management
• Radiation treatment management
• Post-surgical follow up
• Mental health issues
• Physical and occupational therapies
• Annual wellness visits
• Diabetes education

Call or find a provider to schedule a telehealth visit today.

Not seeking care – particularly for chronic illnesses, and urgent or emergency conditions – could negatively impact your overall health and wellbeing. Patients should not be hesitant to contact their physician for any health care concerns or needs – or go to the hospital in emergency situations. We are here for you and ready to provide safe, high-quality care.
