Mercy's Business Health Spotlight

As Springfield’s first hospital, Mercy’s history is built around caring for the community. That mission is why it continues to invest in rural health care as more independent hospitals and clinics shut their doors. It’s why Mercy has partnered with educational leaders to train the next generation of health care professionals, and why it’s dedicated to the idea that health care should be accessible to all. “We know that when our patients are healthy, our community is healthy,” said John Myers, president of Mercy Springfield Communities. “Healthy patients miss less work.
