About Mercy Health
Mercy Health was founded in 1986 by the Sisters of Mercy. In 1989, two regional communities of the Sisters of Mercy agreed to co-sponsor our health system as an innovative way to preserve and enhance both of their health ministries. In 1995, they welcomed the Grey Nuns as sponsors, and in 1996, the Grey Nuns transferred sponsorship of their health ministry to Covenant Health Systems. Also in 1996, Mercy Health welcomed the Sisters of the Humility of Mary as sponsors. The Franciscan Sisters of the Poor joined as sponsors in 1999.
The religious communities that sponsor Mercy Health share a heritage of compassion and a tradition of carrying forth the healing ministry of the church.
