Missouri operates 118 hospitals serving 6.2 million residents, anchored by two major medical hubs in St. Louis and Kansas City.

In Kansas City, Saint Luke's Hospital and the University of Kansas Hospital (located just across the state line in Kansas) serve as the primary referral centers. The University of Missouri Health Care in Columbia serves central Missouri. Missouri's healthcare system reflects the state's geographic diversity, with sophisticated urban medical centers and an extensive rural hospital network. The state's eight medical borders mean Missouri hospitals serve patients from many neighboring states. CoxHealth in Springfield and Mercy Health are major providers in southern and central Missouri. The state's trauma system includes Level I centers in both St. Louis and Kansas City.
