Healing in the broadest sense. These powerful words encapsulate the Mercy Health System mission and our organization's commitment to our patients and community members. Healing in the broadest sense is what our 3,856 employees, who we call partners, strive for each and every day.

But what does "healing in the broadest sense" truly mean? It means promoting physical, emotional and spiritual healing. Encouraging greater family unity. Helping patients and loved ones gain acceptance of a medical condition. Providing compassionate support.

Mercy partners give of themselves to serve our patients and the community. Our innovative services and committed professionals, and our dedication to community outreach and to meeting the needs of the underserved, have led to Mercy's incredible transformation over the last 18 years from a stand-alone hospital to a vertically integrated health system with 63 facilities serving 22 communities throughout southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois.
