SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital in Madison, Wisconsin
The campus of SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital is seen in Madison, Wis., on March 5, 2020. SSM Health signed a $7 million contract with Premier in 2005 to help cut labor costs and analyze productivity at more than a dozen of its hospitals. The company has since given awards to St. Mary’s and other SSM Health hospitals for improving health care quality and costs. Coburn Dukehart/Wisconsin Watch
