Our Mission
In 1995, St. Mary's Hospital entered into an affiliation with the
Sisters of Mercy Health System -
St. Louis. Today, Mercy Health System of Northwest Arkansas is
committed to serving the community
with respect for each person's personal worth and dignity. This mission is accomplished through careful selection of committed,
qualified employees who understand our mission
of caring.
The Sisters of Mercy are faithful to the service traditions of Catherine McAuley,
their order's foundress. Those traditions are marked by justice, excellence,
stewardship and respect for the dignity of each person.
