It is a vertically integrated health care system with 70 facilities serving a total of 26 communities throughout southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois. As part of its diversified, vertically integrated system, Mercy Health operates over four core service areas: hospital-based service, clinic service, post-acute care, and retail.[1] HistoryThe original Janesville City Hospital was founded in 1883 by Dr. Henry Palmer, a Civil War surgeon general who had trained Daniel Hale Williams. The hospital was later renamed Palmer Memorial Hospital and was operated by his son Dr. William Palmer. Soon after it was bought by the Sisters of Mercy of Chicago who renamed it Palmer Memorial Mercy Hospital. The Mercy Sisters worked as trained nurses during the Civil War, and after the war they took on the work of public health care. Need for expansion led to the Sisters of Mercy opening a 50-bed Mercy Hospital facility in Janesville in 1913, which eventually grew through renovation into a 150-bed facility by 1920.[2] In the second half of the 20th century the Sisters of Mercy began to divest itself of its health care holdings, including the Janesville hospital, and Mercy became an independent organization. At that same time, Mercy Health grew out of their old hospital and built a 275-bed facility in downtown Janesville, the site of the current Mercy Hospital and Trauma Center. In 1989, Mercy's volunteer board of directors selected Javon R. Bea as its president and CEO. When Bea became CEO, Mercy Health System could only claim $33 million in annual revenue, had only 589 total employees in a single hospital location, and only saw an estimated 89,000 patients yearly. As of 2015, Mercy Health sees an average of 1.2 million patients every year, employs over 4,000 people across seventy locations, and can claim $1.3 billion in annual revenue.[3] RecognitionIn 1998, Modern Healthcare magazine ranked Mercy at the top of its "Fastest Fifty", ranking providers by net patient revenue growth (1991-1996). In 2006, Mercy Health System was ranked first in the nation by the AARP for providing employment options for people over age 50,[4] and it received an award from the Hospitals for a Healthy Environment (H2E) green hospitals program.[5] In 2007, Mercy Health System was awarded the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award.[6] It was ranked 11th of the Top 100 Integrated Health Networks for 2008 by Modern Healthcare magazine. Working Mother magazine listed Mercy among its 100 Best Companies for 2012 for its child care, flexible scheduling options, leave policies, and advancement programs.[7] Among numerous other awards received in 2013, Mercy Health System was again ranked by the AARP on their "Best Employers for Workers over 50" ranking number five. In 2014, Mercy received Magnet recognition from the American Nurses Credentialing Center. The Magnet Recognition Program recognizes health care organizations for quality patient care, nursing excellence and innovations in professional nursing practice.[8] Rockford MergerOn October 23, 2014, the boards of Rockford Health System and Mercy Health System unanimously signed off on a merger of the two systems. Javon Bea, president and CEO of Janesville, Wisconsin-based Mercy Health, will lead the new parent system and sit on its board. The merged system will be forth known as Mercyhealth. The merged system includes five hospitals, more than 550 physicians and 80 outpatient clinics in Illinois and Wisconsin. Rockford Health System has a 396-bed hospital and a 61-bed rehab center. Mercy has hospitals in Janesville and Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, and a 15-bed facility in Harvard, Illinois. Mr. Bea said this partnership adds specialty pediatric and neonatal care that Mercy does not offer.[9] The merged system will open a new hospital in Rockford specializing in the health of women and children. In September 2018 it was announced that Javon Bea Hospital will be the name of the new hospital within the Mercyhealth Riverside Campus, the $505 million complex on the property. In addition, the hospital within the Mercyhealth Rockton Avenue Campus (formerly Rockford Memorial) will also be called Javon Bea Hospital. The naming announcement was made at a news conference at the Riverside Boulevard hospital attended by about 200 people, including Bea's wife Vita Bea and their five children.[10] FacilitiesAcute-care hospitals
