Mercy
is much more than just a hospital; we are a comprehensive family
of health care services that extend beyond the walls of our acute
care facility and out into our community.This is important to you
because future health care delivery systems no longer will revolve
around programs designed to heal the ill; they will center on services
to keep people well.
More and more, health services will be delivered in the home or
workplace, in schools and churches, in outpatient medical centers
and physicians' offices.
Ninety-six years of concentrating on the health care needs of the
people of Douglas County has resulted in a comprehensive family
of health care services.
From the original 25-bed hospital has grown a sophisticated 153-bed
medical center and a continuum of related services offered outside
the walls of the hospital under the umbrella of Catholic
Health Initiatives.
Today more than 1,300 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 in terms of patient
satisfaction.
