Historical Background
Sacred Heart Mercy Health Care Center (SHMHCC) is a non-profit Michigan
corporation founded by the Religious Sisters of Mercy of Alma, Michigan. It had
its beginnings in 1981 when a Religious Sister of Mercy of Alma completed her
residency program in Internal Medicine, obtained Board Certification and joined a
cardiologist’s practice in Alma as a step toward “responding to the needs of
personal distress and collective misery through the corporal and spiritual works
of mercy” (Constitutions of Religious Sisters of Mercy #7).
As other Religious Sisters of Mercy completed their medical residencies and
graduate programs and other professionals became available to join SHMHCC, the
services have expanded to those provided by a Board Certified General Surgeon,
a Board Certified Psychiatrist, a Clinical Nurse Specialist in Adult Psychiatric-
Mental Health Nursing, a second Board Certified Internist, and a priest chaplain.
