Saint Francis Healthcare System

We have vaccines! Today is a momentous day for Saint Francis Healthcare System. Our healthcare heroes received the vaccine thanks to Broadway Pharmacy. The vaccine allows us peace of mind when caring for these vulnerable patients and ensuring our community receives the highest quality, patient-centered care. At Saint Francis, we are called to serve you! #SaintFrancisStrong

The La Croix Church Outreach Mission program in Cape Girardeau recently donated care packages for colleagues working long hours in our COVID Care Unit. The baskets included snacks and handmade "thank you" cards from Prodigy Leadership Academy students. Thank you, La Croix, for your thoughtful donation!

Did you know? St. Francis of Assisi, our namesake, is the patron saint of animals because he loved all creatures, especially birds. With more than 355 COVID-19 patients now discharged and healing at home, it is time for our flock of flamingos to fly south for the winter. We will continue to update you on our discharged COVID patients so you may continue to celebrate their miraculous healing with us. "But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds, declares the LORD" Jeremiah 30:17
