What Bjc Health System Group Return does
Mission
The 24 licensed hospitals and service organizations of bjc healthcare serve the healthcare needs of the residents of metropolitan st. Louis and kansas city, mid-missouri, eastern kansas and southern illinois. Based in urban, suburban, and rural communities, bjc hospitals include academic medical centers, large, and small community hospitals. Bjc's hospitals have remained in communities that other health systems abandoned leaving no public hospital. Bjc's academic medical centers serve as a critical component of the health safety net for uninsured and underinsured patients. Bjc organizations provide inpatient & outpatient care, rehabilitation, primary care, home care, hospice, long-term care, mental health, workplace and community health/wellness. Bjc organizations also support the training of future health professionals; advancement of medical research; health safety net services and emergency preparedness; community outreach and health literacy; and regional economic development.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $4.2B to $8.0B (+88%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 0% · 2018 0% · 2019 0% · 2020 4% · 2021 1% · 2022 1% · 2023 0% · 2024 1%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
