Founded in 1856, the system operates more than 50 acute care and specialty hospitals, over 1,000 physician practices and outpatient facilities, and 80 convenient care and urgent care locations, serving millions of patients across Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma. Its headquarters are in St. Louis, Missouri.

For technical candidates, Mercy works across healthcare data science, artificial intelligence, predictive medicine, and healthcare technology and innovation. The system partners with Mayo Clinic and Microsoft on data science, AI and predictive medicine initiatives, and describes its approach as combining a faith-based ministry with technology and innovation.

Mercy is a Catholic health system founded by the Sisters of Mercy, tracing its heritage to Catherine McAuley's first House of Mercy in Dublin, Ireland in 1827 and to the Sisters' arrival in St. Louis in 1856. The organisation states a commitment to health equity and to addressing social determinants of health, and provides more than $550 million in community benefits annually. It has been recognised for patient experience, including the Excellence in Patient Experience Award from NRC Health.
