We are pleased to welcome Syed Ijlal Ahmed, MD, to Cape Neurology Specialists.

Ahmed provides general neurology services, with expertise in stroke, seizures, Parkinson disease, headache disorders, neuropathies and Botox for migraines.

He chose neurology for its intellectual rigor and its power to bring clarity and hope to patients and families facing complex, often life-changing conditions. His work is guided by a belief in listening, thinking critically and treating with both science and compassion.

Outside of medicine, Ahmed enjoys cooking, especially perfecting his biryani recipe and spending time with his wife and their six-month-old.

Please join us in welcoming Syed Ijlal Ahmed, MD, to our team and our community.

150 Years of Faith, Courage and Compassion

In the summer of 1878, yellow fever gripped Memphis. While thousands fled the city, Sister Engelberta Gramen and three fellow nuns from Saint Francis Hospital in Cape Girardeau entered, tending to the sick and comforting the dying at great personal risk.

Their service, guided by faith and courage, became the foundation of Saint Francis Healthcare System, which has now cared for our communities for 150 years.

Today, we honor that legacy through the Sister Gramen Gratitude Award, recognizing colleagues who exemplify extraordinary compassion and dedication to others.

Thank you for joining us in celebrating 150 years of faithful service.

Saint Francis Healthcare System is honored to mark this milestone with our community, colleagues and partners. The 150th anniversary ribbon cutting was a meaningful moment of reflection on our past and a look ahead to our future in faith-based care.

Special thanks to the Cape Girardeau Area Chamber of Commerce and the Jackson Missouri Area Chamber Of Commerce for helping lead the ribbon cutting in our Healing Garden, in front of the cherished Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto.

What began in 1875 as a 12-room home has grown into a 306-bed tertiary care hospital, supported by more than 3,000 employees and 400 providers across 29 counties. Our commitment to healing, wellness, quality and love—guided by our Mission and rooted in faith—remains steadfast.

Lung cancer causes more deaths in the U.S. each year than breast, prostate and colon cancers combined. But early detection can dramatically improve survival rates.

We encourage those at higher risk—especially adults age 50 and older with a history of smoking—to talk to their provider about a pulmonary screening today.
