A history rich in caring

Mercy General Hospital has been caring for patients in the downtown Sacramento region for more than a century. Founded by the Sisters of Mercy in the 1800s, Mercy's mission and values reflect the Sisters' heritage of caring to this day. Today, we are proud to continue to deliver compassionate, quality healthcare, including community education, health screenings and nationally-recognized treatment programs.

Mercy General Hospital's history of healing in Sacramento dates back to the opening of the Sisters of Mercy's first hospital, Mater Misericordiae, at 22nd and R Streets in the late 1890s. In 1925, the Sisters broke ground at 40th and J Streets for a hospital that would serve the people of Sacramento for years to come.
