Resurrection Health Care

What Resurrection Health Care does

Ascension is a nonprofit Catholic health system headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, operating 94 hospitals across more than nine U.S. states including Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Maryland, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, and Wisconsin. Formed in 1999 through the merger of the Daughters of Charity National Health System, Ascension employs 99,000 associates and works with 23,000 affiliated providers, delivering comprehensive healthcare services including emergency care, primary care, specialty care, surgery, cardiac care, oncology, neurology, obstetrics, and orthopedics. Regional brands include Ascension Saint Thomas (Tennessee), Ascension St. John (Oklahoma), Ascension Saint Agnes (Maryland), Ascension Via Christi (Kansas), Ascension Sacred Heart (Florida), Ascension St. Vincent's (Florida), Ascension Providence (Texas), Ascension Seton (Texas), and Ascension Wisconsin.

The company's core technology platform is Ascension One, a mobile and online patient portal that enables medical record access, appointment scheduling, online bill pay, provider search, and patient-provider communication. Supporting digital services include online scheduling with Hold My Spot urgent care features, a Find Care provider/location search tool, and a Patient Health Library. The technology stack is standard healthcare IT focused on patient experience and administrative efficiency rather than proprietary AI/ML. Ascension supplements direct care delivery through joint venture partnerships (Howell Allen Clinic for neurosurgery, Urgent Team for urgent care), operational integrations (Lyft for medical transportation, Volgistics for volunteer management), and maintains certifications including Joint Commission stroke and orthopedic certifications, ACS Level 1 Trauma Center designations, and U.S. News & World Report High Performing Hospital recognition.

Ascension's business model is nonprofit healthcare delivery, generating revenue primarily through hospital services, emergency care, specialty procedures, diagnostic services, and outpatient clinics, billed through insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, and self-pay. The organization is supported by tax-deductible donations through multiple 501(c)(3) foundation entities across a reported 14 states. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via find-a-doctor tools, online scheduling, and patient portals, with a faith-based mission emphasis on serving poor and vulnerable populations. Customer segments are broad, spanning general patient populations, maternal/pediatric care, and complex medical conditions requiring advanced specialty treatment.
