A May 14, 2024 post on the Facebook page of Hospital Católico thanked Mercy Hospital for their continued support.
“For us it’s a blessing to have the support of HCA Florida Mercy Hospital. As a sister Catholic hospital, we want to learn from the best in the world so that we too may provide our community with the very best care made possible through our faith in Jesus Christ who is ever present.”
Earlier in May, leaders from Hospital Católico Santa Cruz de la Sierra spent a week at Mercy shadowing medical staff leaders who openly shared best practices in the delivery of patient care.
For almost 75 years, Mercy Hospital has kept the tradition of service to the local community, as well as extended its outreach and support to Latin America.
