Mercy Health Lorain Hospital is a 199-bed non-profit hospital in Lorain, Ohio. It is owned and operated by Mercy Health.[1]
Mercy Health Lorain Hospital was created after St. Joseph's and Lorain Community Hospital merged.[2] St. Joseph's Hospital was founded by Franciscans in 1892. The Sisters of the Holy Humility of Mary began managing the hospital in 1910 and took over ownership in 1927.[3] In 1996 they took possession of Loraine Community Hospital--built in 1964[4]--and merged the two. St Joseph's was closed in 1997 and turned into a community center. After a series of expansion and updates, the hospital was named Mercy Health Lorain Hospital in 2014.[5]
