Nationally Recognized Care

Mercy is home to the area's most experienced accredited Chest Pain Center. Learn more about chest pain and heart attack symptoms.

We have also earned Disease-Specific Care (DSC) Certification from the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) for:

  • Primary Stroke Center
  • Primary Women and Heart Disease Center

Earning this recognition means that professionals in the Mercy Emergency Department play a vital role in the treatment of heart attack and stroke patients. In fact, for cardiac patients, Mercy has had the best door-to-balloon times in the state for more than two years — 25 minutes faster than the national average.

For stroke patients, Mercy is one of only 7% of U.S. hospitals to achieve stroke door-to-treatment time in less than 60 minutes. Faster times save lives in the Mercy Emergency Department.

Choose Mercy. You deserve the best.
