June 26th | Happenings in Healthcare - Mercy Health System

Mercy Health System plays a vital role in the St. Louis region, providing high-quality, accessible healthcare to thousands of residents. Through initiatives like the Mercy Health Foundation, the system has supported cancer care, pediatric services, and programs for uninsured patients. Mercy also collaborates with other local health systems to address community needs, investing in public health, food security, and medical infrastructure.

Now, Mercy is expanding its presence with a new $650 million hospital complex in Wentzville. The 75-bed facility, spanning 483,000 square feet, will be built on 60 acres near Interstates 64 and 70, addressing the growing healthcare needs of the region. This expansion will reduce travel times for patients from Lincoln and Warren counties, ensuring accessible, high-quality medical care closer to home. The project is expected to bring hundreds of healthcare jobs to the area.
