Caring for our community for over 100 Years!
Mercy started with a $12,000 gift from the Roseburg community. That’s
the sum the Sisters of Mercy raised to construct Roseburg’s first hospital
more than 50 years after the city was founded.
The 25-bed Mercy Hospital was dedicated on Feb. 22, 1909, just four months after
construction began. It was built on the banks of the South Umpqua River where
Douglas County Health Department now stands.
Mercy has grown into a sophisticated 174-bed medical center as it has upgraded
its technology and expanded its services to ensure Douglas County residents
access to state-of-the-art healthcare without having to leave town.
Today more than 1,000 employees and 300 volunteers work throughout Mercy. All
of them personify the values upon which this institution was built. It is this
commitment that has helped Mercy become one of the country's most highly rated
hospitals for patient satisfaction.
Some new statistics about Mercy's patient care: for fiscal year 2011, Mercy had 47,280 Emergency Room visits, 8,425 admissions (9,336 if we include the 911 newborns), 1,527 surgeries.
