Homer G. Phillips dedicated his life’s work to the establishment of St. Louis’ first, and one of America’s most important, hospitals serving the black community.
In addition to caring for those most in need of professional medical attention, ‘Homer G’ was a place of learning and opportunity for persons who would otherwise have little or no chance for careers as physicians, nurses, and healthcare professionals.
In establishing a new hospital on the site of what was historic Pruitt-Igoe – and in association with Ponce Health Sciences University of St. Louis – we aspire to deliver high-quality healthcare and ever-expanding opportunities in health education and careers for all.
It is our goal to foster a culture that honors tradition, facilitates advancement and celebrates diversity. Through respectful service, we also aspire to carry on the hard work, spirit of unity and community pride that are the legacy of our namesake. Homer G. Phillips
