New Mercy Command Center in Joplin
Mercy is establishing a new command center in Joplin that will serve as an interim home base for all operations in rebuilding our presence in Joplin. The command center is located at the Holiday Inn Convention Center. Gary Pulsipher, president of St. John’s Regional Medical Center, is leading the effort to establish the command center and will head up all activities going forward.
Information for Clinical Co-workers
St. John’s Regional Medical Center clinical co-workers are asked to report in to Memorial Hall in Joplin at their regularly scheduled work times. Non-clinical co-workers are not needed to report to work at this time unless otherwise notified. If co-workers have not already done so, they are asked to call 1-888-98-MERCY (1-888-986-3729) to account for their safety and needs.
Information for All Co-workers
Services and information for Mercy co-workers in the Joplin area are being provided from the command center at the Holiday Inn Convention Center, including:
- Counseling/EAP services
- Return-to-work information
- Benefits and payroll information
- Information about relief resources
Co-workers may come to the center between the hours of 7 am and 9 pm to check in and access this information. Co-workers are NOT required to come to the command center. The center is available only if you have need of these services.
Co-workers continue to be asked to call 1-888-986-3729 to account for their safety and needs, and to determine the best way to share information with them in the days ahead.
