SSM Health Tech Stack
Integrated Midwest health system with 40,000+ staff across hospitals, primary care, and virtual services
SSM Health operates a large Catholic health system spanning Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin with hospitals, physician offices, outpatient clinics, home care, hospice, pharmacy, insurance, and an ACO. The tech stack is dominated by Epic (EHR), complemented by data infrastructure (AWS EMR, Apache Airflow, SQL Server, Tableau, Power BI) and workforce management (Workday, Kronos) — a typical large health system baseline. Active hiring is concentrated in clinical roles (nurses, physicians, therapists) with secondary growth in security and engineering, reflecting operational scaling and emerging data/compliance maturity.
