BJC HealthCare, based in St. Louis, and Saint Luke's Health System, based in Kansas City, Mo., have signed a non-binding letter of intent to form an integrated academic health system. 

BJC and Saint Luke's operate the three top hospitals in Missouri, according to U.S. News & World Report.

BJC would continue serving Eastern Missouri and Southern Illinois out of St. Louis; Saint Luke's would continue serving Western Missouri and portions of Kansas out of Kansas City.
