Mercy Health[2] is a Roman Catholic health care system with locations in Ohio and Kentucky.

Founder

Sisters of Mercy

The Religious Sisters of Mercy (R.S.M.) were founded in 1831 in Dublin, Ireland, by Catherine McAuley. The sisters arrived in the United States in 1843. Eventually thirty-nine separate Sisters of Mercy congregations across the United States and Latin America developed from that first convent in Pittsburgh. The Sisters of Mercy established hospitals in Hamilton, Ohio and Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.

Hospitals

Mercy Health serves seven markets: Cincinnati, Toledo, Youngstown, Lima, Lorain and Springfield in Ohio and Paducah and Irvine in Kentucky.[3]

Cincinnati

In the Cincinnati area, there are five hospitals: Jewish Hospital, Mercy Hospital Anderson in Anderson Township, in Clermont County, Mercy Hospital Fairfield in Fairfield, and Mercy West Hospital, in Western Hills in Cincinnati.[citation needed] A new Mercy West Hospital, designed by Champlin Architecture and AECOM, opened in 2013.[4]

Seven hospitals are owned and operated by Mercy Health in the Toledo area: Mercy Hospital of Defiance, Mercy Hospital of Tiffin, Mercy Hospital of Willard, St. Anne Mercy Hospital, St. Charles Mercy Hospital, and Mercy Health - St. Vincent Medical Center, which includes Mercy Health - Children's Hospital.[5]
