Pat Komoroski, PhD, President of SSM St. Joseph Hospital West in Lake Saint Louis has been named president of SSM DePaul Health Center in Bridgeton.
Komoroski will replace Stephen Johnson as president of DePaul, effective July 7. Last year, Johnson was named Executive Vice President-Operations/North Region as part of a restructuring within SSM Health Care-St. Louis. Johnson had also retained his position at DePaul until now.
“Pat brings to DePaul a wealth of leadership experience and a strong commitment to exceptional patient care,” says Johnson. “We are delighted that she is moving into this new role with SSM Health Care.”
Komoroski has served at St. Joseph Hospital West since 2000, first as Executive Vice President/Chief Operating Officer and then as President. Under her leadership, the hospital has seen continued growth and achieved recognition for excellence in clinical practice, operations and financial management as a Top 100 hospital in America and the recipient of the Missouri Quality Award. She has also received recognition as one of the 25 Most Influential Business Women by the St. Louis Business Journal and the Athena Award for her leadership in St. Charles County.
Verna Meacham, Chief Operating Officer at Saint Joseph Hospital West, will serve as that hospital’s interim president while a national search is conducted to find a permanent replacement.
“The employees and physicians at SSM Saint Joseph Hospital West remain very dear to my heart,” says Komoroski. “However, the opportunity to serve our mission at SSM DePaul and to be part of delivering exceptional patient care across SSM Health Care is very exciting.”

Program helps consumers find high-quality tree care companies
Allen’s Tree Service, Inc., a commercial and residential tree care company located in Wentzville, Missouri has been accredited under a new Tree Care Company Accreditation program administered by the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA) which has a membership of over 2,000 tree care companies and built on the threefold foundation of ethics, quality, and consumer confidence.
The new program represents the only business practices and compliance audit process in the tree care industry. Under the process, businesses undergo extensive review of professional practices aimed at safeguarding consumers. The review includes:

TCIA Accreditation means Allen’s Tree Service, Inc. adheres to all the accreditation standards and has undergone a rigorous application process. TCIA verified this by conducting an on-site audit of Allen’s Tree Service, Inc. facilities and work sites.
TCIA Accreditation for Allen’s Tree Service, Inc. is in effect for a period of three years, with renewal check-ups required every year. The annual renewal ensures that the company continues to employ trained professionals, is still properly insured and has a good safety and consumer satisfaction rating. The company is re-accredited every three years.
According to TCIA president Cynthia Mills, “TCIA Accreditation provides consumers a way to find tree care companies that are trustworthy in their business and tree care practices. Our TCIA Accreditation program is the only one of its kind in America and will give consumers peace of mind.”
The process of becoming accredited is no easy task. According to Gary Allen, president of Allen’s Tree Service, Inc., “The process is incredibly thorough. They left no stone unturned. We are pleased to be recognized as one of the best tree care companies around.” Mills echoes that sentiment. “Allen’s Tree Service, Inc. has made a commitment to excellence in all facets of its business. I applaud their efforts.”
