Mercy Health Network. a leading regional health care system based in Clive, today announced it will soon become MercyOne. The strategic brand initiative aims to connect the health system’s points of care across the state and surrounding regions to better enable consumers to recognize and navigate its network of services. “The new name acknowledges our history and carries on our legacy, which is grounded in faith,” said Bob Ritz, president and CEO of Mercy Health Network. “This change to unify under the MercyOne brand follows work to align our mission, vision and culture, which guides us in caring for our patients and communities.” Formed in 1998 by Catholic Health Initiatives and Trinity Health, Mercy Health Network now includes more than 43 owned, joint venture and affiliated medical centers and hospital campuses, along with more than 230 primary care clinics and other health facilities in Iowa and Nebraska. The system generates more than $3 billion in combined revenue and employs more than 20,000 people. All of the system’s wholly owned hospitals and care sites — among them Mercy Medical Center-Des Moines — will adopt the MercyOne name, along with a facility locator.
