Mission and Values

Mercy Health System will be a leading provider of compassionate care and community access to quality healthcare services that improve the health of individuals and communities.

Mission

The mission of Mercy Health System is to be a partner in the healing ministry of the Catholic Church in the spirit of the Sisters of Mercy and Hope Ministries.

To fulfill that mission, Mercy Health System strives to create an environment that is caring and compassionate within our hospital system and in our service to the community. We are dedicated to being a transforming, healing presence that supports healthy communities, addresses the diverse health needs of our neighbors at every stage of life, and is accessible to all, including the often forgotten poor and disadvantaged. Through innovative medicine and compassionate care, our hospitals work together to nurture our patients and their families through the healing process with superior services and spiritual support.

Mercy Health System is committed to:

  • Insure high standards of creative leadership and fiscal responsibility
  • Collaborate and network with others who share our values in the provision of health related services
  • Advocate on behalf of issues of conscience and human need
  • Contribute to the preservation and strength of Catholic healthcare through membership in Catholic Health East.
