St. Luke’s Hospital has joined the MPact Health Clinically Integrated Network, a four-state collaboration of physicians and hospitals focused on improving healthcare quality and patient satisfaction, expanding access to care and lowering healthcare costs.

MPact Health includes select physicians and hospitals in Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas and Oklahoma. Members work together on clinical integration and quality improvement related to MPact Health’s commercial payer and narrow network employer contracts.

“This collaboration with MPact Health provides the opportunity to further enhance the quality of our care and access to our services in our ongoing mission to improve the health of our patients and the broader community," said Christine M. Candio, RN, FACHE, St. Luke’s Hospital president and chief executive officer. “St. Luke’s extraordinary physicians are committed to delivering even greater value to our patients in terms of quality, satisfaction and cost."

St. Luke’s is now a member of the St. Louis chapter of MPact Health. The St. Louis chapter also includes Mercy and Anderson Hospital in Maryville, Ill.

“We welcome St. Luke’s to the MPact Health Clinically Integrated Network," said Dirck Clark, MPact Health president. “St. Luke’s shares MPact Health’s vision to leverage technology and share best practices to benefit patients."

Members of MPact Health share business, clinical and operational best practices and develop collaborative solutions while preserving their independence. Due to the contractual agreement, the financial terms are undisclosed.
