BELIEVE IN A BETTER WAY.

Three of the region’s most trusted specialty groups have come together to create something new: an independent, patient-focused, physician-led system focused on the belief in a better way to deliver healthcare.

NOT ANOTHER SYSTEM.
A BETTER WAY.

Our organization was built with a primary goal to improve patient care. Helios unites the region’s leading specialty groups into one physician-led system-cutting through red tape, eliminating unnecessary steps, and bringing patients and providers closer together.

WHAT WE BELIEVE ABOUT CARE.

At Helios, we believe patients deserve better—clear answers, fewer barriers, and doctors who actually talk to each other. We’re creating a better way to deliver specialty care, built around the people it’s meant to serve.

WHY WE BUILT THIS.

What happens when physician leaders from three of St. Louis’ most trusted specialty groups come together to create something new?

You get Helios.

In this candid conversation, Dr. Matt Spellman (Urology of St. Louis), Dr. Michael Polinsky (Neurosurgery of St. Louis), and Dr. James Hartman (Sound Health Services) share why they joined forces—and what it means for patients.
