SSM Health Foundation – St. Louis is launching a public Women’s Health Initiative fundraising campaign with a lead gift of $25,000 from St. Louis native, Cedric the Entertainer, a longtime ambassador for the Foundation and brother of Foundation board member Sharita Kyles Wilson.

To date, $1.9 million has been raised in support of SSM Health Women’s Health patient centered programs, impacting women from all walks of life across the region.

Funds raised will extend and improve women’s health care with dedicated focus on the unique needs and issues important to women throughout their lifetimes.

SSM Health is committed to development of a comprehensive support model for women patients addressing unique needs including:

- pregnancy-related mental health issues such as depression and anxiety;
- standardization of screening timelines, tools and referrals;
- coordination of care with a Nurse Navigator to obtain needed supports;
- additional access to nurse practitioners; and
- a special partnership with SSM Health DePaul Behavioral Health Urgent Care Center for acute needs.

When women don’t have access to specialized and comprehensive health care, they end up suffering in silence or delaying care until it’s too late.

This campaign gives the community an opportunity to unite behind the women in our lives and ensure they receive the care they need and deserve.

Rosetta Boyce Kyles, the late mother of Cedric the Entertainer and Sharita Kyles Wilson received compassionate cancer care at SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital.

Inspired by the exceptional care she received, the siblings have supported the SSM Health Mission with significant efforts to raise funds for women’s health.

Rosetta’s legacy lives on through the Rosetta Boyce Kyles Women’s Pavilion at SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital, which serves as a resource for comprehensive women’s health services for all women and their families.

SSM Health Foundation – St. Louis exists to meet the needs of the community, raising awareness and financial support for medical outreach and advancement programs throughout the region.
