Mercy has been caring for patients throughout the Sacramento region for more than a century. Founded by the Sisters of Mercy in the 1800s, Mercy's mission and values relect the Sisters' heritage of caring to this day. Today, we are proud to continue to deliver compassionate, quality healthcare, including community education, health screenings and nationally-recognized treatment programs.

It was more than a century ago that the Sisters of Mercy broke ground on Sacramento's first private hospital, Mater Misericordiae (Latin for "Mother of Mercy"). The hospital was one of the most modern and best-equipped hospitals in California at the time. It operated at 23rd and R streets until 1925, when the Sisters opened Mercy General Hospital at 40th and J Streets. Since then we've grown in size and sophistication, but our mission has remained unchanged.


At Mercy, we take a personalized approach to healthcare, offering services covering the full spectrum of healthcare, from education and wellness to acute treatment and rehabilitation.

Our network of care centers, hospitals and doctors stretch from El Dorado Hills to Woodland, and from Elk Grove to Nevada City. For convenient, expert and comprehensive care - Choose Mercy.
