Mercy Medical Center and Catholic Health Initiatives Mission Statement

The mission of Mercy Medical Center and Catholic Health Initiatives is to nurture the healing ministry of the Church by bringing it new life, energy and viability in the 21st century. Fidelity to the Gospel urges us to emphasize human dignity and social justice as we move toward the creation of healthier communities.

  • research and develop new ministries which integrate health, education, pastoral, and social services;
