St. Anthony's Medical Center

What St. Anthony's Medical Center does

St. Anthony's Medical Center is documented in the source data as the former designation of the South County St. Louis facility that now operates within Mercy Health, a nonprofit Catholic health care ministry headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri. Mercy is one of the 15 largest U.S. health systems by operating revenue and footprint, reporting $10.2 billion in FY2025 operating revenue, $11.08 billion in net assets, and more than 50,000 caregivers serving approximately 2.6 million active patients.

The organization delivers care through 55 acute care and specialty hospitals (heart, children's, orthopedic, and rehabilitation) and more than 300 physician office locations across Arkansas, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma, supported by more than 2,400 primary and specialty care physicians and 2,200+ advanced practitioners. Its technology stack centers on one of the most advanced electronic health records in U.S. healthcare - used for predictive population-health analytics and disparity identification - alongside the MyMercy patient portal, QuickPay online billing, and the Care Now Navigator 24/7 video-visit platform. Mercy Technology Services and Mercy Virtual Care further formalize the digital infrastructure. AI capability includes large-scale deployment of Aidoc imaging AI, participation in the Healthcare AI Collaborative, and internally branded precision medicine and predictive analytics programs; Mercy recently created a VP of Enterprise AI and Decision Intelligence role.

Revenue is generated primarily through patient services across inpatient, outpatient, primary care, specialty, imaging, lab, pharmacy, and emergency settings. Pricing and payment are diversified: standard transaction-based billing, a Mercy interest-free monthly payment plan ($50 minimum, up to 24 months), a 0% interest extended payment loan program with Commerce Bank (24-84 months, up to $50,000), and financial assistance tied to Federal Poverty Guidelines. The system additionally invests $550 million+ annually in community benefits, including $149 million in traditional charity care and $93 million in unreimbursed Medicaid, indicating significant exposure to government and uninsured reimbursement mix.
