HCA Florida Mercy Hospital

In witness of Jesus' healing mission, Mercy Hospital strives to improve the well-being of those served through a healthcare delivery system designed to promote wellness and cure illness. As a ministry of the Roman Catholic Church, we are committed to being a transforming, healing presence within our community.

Adopting the spirit of the Sisters of St. Joseph of St. Augustine, Florida in "working to achieve unity of neighbor with neighbor and neighbor with God," we attest to the value of human life in all its cycles. This is done through respect for the unborn and recognition of the transcendent meaning of suffering and death by combining professional excellence with a compassionate concern for the whole person.

We seek to understand and respond to the needs of our community through collaboration with others that share a common mission and vision. With attention to fiscal responsibility, quality services are made available and accessible to those who need them.
