Steward is a different kind of health care company.

Once a collection of struggling hospitals in Massachusetts, Steward is the largest private, tax-paying hospital operator in the country.

We have 39 community hospitals across nine states, with more than 43,000 employees.

As a physician-led company, our network includes:

25+

Urgent Care Centers

107

Preferred Skilled Nursing Facilities

7,900+

Beds Under Management

Our Network

Steward’s Health Care Network is made up of physicians who care for approximately 2.2 million patients annually and provides more than 12 million patient encounters per year. Steward Medical Group, our employed physician group, provides more than six million patient encounters per year.

With a passionate focus on high-quality care, innovative services, and community commitment—a mission to keep patients healthy and out of the hospital—Steward is not only transforming health care in the cities and towns where it operates but is also building a new industry model for the rest of the country.

VALUES

We are champions of the best health care.
That’s because we believe everyone has the right to great health—whoever you are and wherever you live.

We are hard-charging transformers.

We’ve built a seamless gateway to a remarkable new world of extraordinary health care—one that unlocks access to the high-quality, low-cost care everyone deserves.

We are good stewards.

The Steward family invests in areas where its employees and patients live, work and play. We relentlessly advocate for improving the quality of life in the communities we serve—both across America and beyond.

PURPOSE

Steward Health Care is fighting for a new era of wellness and a healthier world.

Physician Led

As the only physician-led, tax-paying health care organization, our doctors can be certain that we share their interests and those of their patients. And because our doctors are rewarded for keeping their patients healthy and out of the hospital, our patients are rewarded with more time for the moments and people that matter most in their lives.

Purpose Driven

No matter our role, everyone in the Steward family embodies an unshakeable commitment to the people we care for and the communities we serve. Together, we are on a mission to revolutionize the way health care is delivered – creating healthier lives, thriving communities and a better world. One person, one family and one neighborhood at a time.

World Changing

Very few people and companies can be part of something that changes the world. At Steward, we share a passion to be far more than a symbol of excellence in health care. We are leading the way for a remarkable new world of access to affordable, high-quality care for every human being. Because when people are healthy and vibrant so are their families and neighborhoods. And along with that comes the economic, social and cultural vitality of entire communities, nations and, indeed, the world.

COMMUNITY

Steward employs over 40,000 people and, unlike non-profit hospitals, is often the largest taxpayer in each of our communities, contributing to the local economy and boosting jobs. Many of our hospitals are located in cities and towns where unemployment and poverty rates are above average.

By hiring and managing employees, working with local vendors and contractors, and paying taxes, we’re able to demonstrate the positive impact that the growing health care industry can have on communities across the country.

We also value forming positive relationships in the communities where we operate. In Massachusetts, over the past four years alone, we have provided $221 million in community benefits and paid more than $120 million in taxes.
