Mercy and healthcare have gone hand-in-hand since the first Sisters of Mercy began tending the sick poor in Dublin, Ireland, in the nineteenth century. Since the 1847 founding of the first Mercy hospital in the U.S. in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas have served in every capacity from scrub nurses and doctors to CEOs, CFOs and trustees. Today, our healthcare institutions are recognized as leaders in healthcare quality and innovation.

The Sisters of Mercy of the Americas sponsor or co-sponsor six health systems and many health-related facilities throughout the United States, including hospitals, long-term care facilities, rehabilitation centers, and family care and outreach centers, making them one of the largest health care providers in the country. There are also Mercy-affiliated hospitals and health clinics in Belize, Guam, Guyana, Peru and the Philippines.
