Health Care Week at Mission Hill: 2024 Schedule of Activities

May 08, 2024 02:00 PM - Health Care Week, held this year from May 12-18, is an opportunity to celebrate and recognize the important role our nearly 40,000 SSM Health team members play in carrying out our Mission, Vision, and Values. At Mission Hill, we have planned a number of activities designed to celebrate YOU.

As an added thank you, all system business office team members will be entered into a drawing for gift cards and other prizes. Winners will be notified via email and posted in MyNews.
