Mercy Health Foundation Springfield

Residents of southwest Missouri have trusted us for over a century, and St. John’s Hospital continues to work hard today to be your lifelong health care partner as well. We do it by building a better experience that is more personal and convenient.

A tradition of philanthropy is also at the core of our history. In 1891, community leaders donated a building to the Sisters of Mercy. Today, charitable support remains one of the most important funding sources to advance patient care. 

Mercy Health Foundation Springfield was established in 2001 to support the advancement of Mercy Hospital Springfield.  Over the years, the Foundation has invested more than $15 million in technology, programs and facilities.

Join us in our initiatives – the need is great but so are the people of the Ozarks.
