Press release from SSM Health St. Clare Hospital - Fenton:

October 5, 2021

Throughout the pandemic, SSM Health has experienced numerous challenges and witnessed the strength found within community. Next week, we have a unique opportunity to share, with our broader community, the story of SSM Health and our incredible team members. A 60-minute version of our Behind the Mask documentary will air on Thursday, Oct. 14 in primetime from 7 to 8 pm Central Time on NBC-TV affiliate stations in Jefferson City, Madison, Milwaukee, Green Bay, Oklahoma City, Paducah and St. Louis. The film also will be featured on our internal and external websites.

Behind the Mask honors SSM Health’s heroic team members who are following in the footsteps of our five founding sisters who arrived in St. Louis nearly 150 years ago, initially serving amid a devastating smallpox epidemic. The SSM Health team has carried their perseverance, dedication and compassion forward to present day by caring for more than 80,000 people with COVID-19, while simultaneously bringing hope and healing to countless others.

The documentary features some extraordinary stories of courage, resilience and sacrifice that have occurred across our healing ministry throughout the past 18 months. It calls us to remember those we’ve lost and those who are still suffering. Most importantly, these stories remind us to join our hearts in gratitude for one another, and all those who walk with us in this journey.
