Mission

Like the Sisters of Mercy before us, we witness God's healing love for all people by providing excellent clinical and residential services within a community of compassionate care. The Sisters of Mercy were founded by Catherine McAuley, who used her inheritance to build a home for poor women and children in Dublin, Ireland and later founded the religious order known as the Sisters of Mercy. In 1874, six Sisters of Mercy arrived in Baltimore to take charge of a dispensary called The Baltimore City Hospital. Mercy Medical Center is a community teaching hospital with an academic affiliation with the University of Maryland School of Medicine.
