“Mercy providers continue to earn accolades for their skills and achievement in delivering compassionate, quality patient care. The Castle Connolly awards are further evidence of Mercy’s stellar reputation as a leading health care institution, now more than 150 years in the making,” said Dr. David N. Maine, President and CEO, Mercy Health Services, Mercy Medical Center.

A study published in the Journal of Medical Research found that across several specialties evidence indicates that Castle Connolly’s peer-reviewed directory is methodologically more reliable than sites that just relied on patient reviews when it came to identifying quality care.
