Nearly a decade ago, we set out to build an entirely different kind of health care company from the ground up-one that unlocks access to affordable, high-quality and economically sustainable care and wellness in ways never before imagined. Today, we are the largest private, physician-led health care network-caring for millions of people across the U.S. and beyond.
Our transformative, fully integrated model represents a new beginning for America's health care system and others around the world. Over the last decade, Steward Health Care has perfected a unique vertically and horizontally integrated model that achieves the highest quality care, increases patient access, and substantially reduces total medical expenses.

Once a collection of struggling hospitals in Massachusetts, Steward is the largest private, tax-paying hospital operator in the country. We operate 39 community hospitals across nine states and 5 internationally in the countries of Malta and Colombia; serving over 800 communities with 5,500 providers and 43,000 dedicated health care professionals caring for 12.3 million patients annually.
Urgent care is an increasingly convenient solution for patients and consumers who are seeking medical treatment and care outside of a standard doctor's office hours, or without a pre-scheduled appointment. The Steward Health Care urgent care network includes multiple affiliated and owned urgent care centers.
That's because everyone has the right to great health-whoever you are and wherever you live. We've built from scratch a seamless gateway to a remarkable new world of extraordinary health care that unlocks access to the high-quality, low-cost care everyone deserves-one person, one family and one community at a time.
We've designed the health care system of tomorrow and ushered in a new era of wellness. One that provides our patients better care at a lower cost; our providers unrivaled coordination of care; and our business unmatched scalability and economic sustainability. Changing the game of health care, forever.
