St. Luke's Hospital in Chesterfield, Mo., has been a longtime proponent— perhaps even a pioneer—of population health management. From its earliest Wellness initiatives providing community childbirth classes in the 1960s to its current "Wellness College" lecture series on healthy aging and its health partnerships with local organizations, St. Luke's believes a healthy community is stronger and more prosperous. St. Luke's believes good health care is not only about treating disease, but also about bringing the message of healthy living to the community where people work, play, and raise their families. It has always embraced the idea that keeping people healthy is much more efficient than providing care once they develop chronic illnesses a notion that has received much attention through healthcare reform.
