Description

ConnectCares service to the community is rooted in the history of the St Louis City public hospitals preceding it

ConnectCares history begins with the former Homer G Phillips Hospital In 1918 the city built a hospital to care for AfricanAmerican patients and to train AfricanAmerican physicians and nurses As community needs grew Homer G Phillips an AfricanAmerican attorney spearheaded the development of a larger hospital Sadly he was murdered before the 1937 dedication of the new hospital bearing his name

Thousands of AfricanAmerican medical professionals trained at Homer G Phillips which transferred its last patients to Max C Starkloff City Hospital in 1979 When City Hospital closed a few years later the city and county founded St Louis Regional Medical Center to provide care for residents

Regionals 1997 closing dealt a devastating blow to the patients it served Officials and health care professionals quickly formed a consortium to address the issue of access to care This lead to the creation of todays Saint Louis ConnectCare

In 1998 BJC HealthCare agreed to assist with ConnectCares management during its first five years of operation

Today while no longer a hospital ConnectCare is known as a valued community asset that serves as both a link to the past as well as a vision for the future of healthcare in the region
