Saint Luke's Health System is an Episcopal Church non-profit hospital network[1] in the bi-state Kansas City metro area, located in northeast Kansas and northwest Missouri. With over 12,000 local employees, it is the third largest private employer in the Kansas City metro.

Saint Luke's Health System traces its history to its flagship hospital, Saint Luke's Hospital of Kansas City, which was established in 1882.[2] On January 1, 2024, its operations were merged with those of BJC HealthCare, forming BJC Health System.[3]
