"By collaborating with others in works of mercy, we continually learn from them how to be more merciful."
-- Constitutions, Sisters of Mercy
As one of the first charitable groups to care for the sick in the early history of this country, the Sisters of Mercy founded many hospitals. To these pioneers of nursing, caring for patients was an art and a profession. High healthcare standards and levels of care achieved by these early sisters continue to serve today as models for several nationally recognized healthcare systems.
