==History== The Religious Sisters of Mercy (R.S.M.) were founded in 1831 in Dublin, Ireland, by Catherine McAuley. The sisters arrived in the United States in 1843. Eventually thirty-nine separate Sisters of Mercy congregations across the United States and Latin America developed from that first convent in Pittsburgh. The Sisters of Mercy established hospitals in Hamilton, Ohio in 1892 and in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, in 1898.

===The Sisters of Charity of Montreal=== In 1855 Toledo, Ohio was in the midst of a cholera and malaria epidemic. Father Augustine Campion, pastor of St. Francis de Sales Church, asked the Sisters of Charity of Montreal for assistance. They established St. Vincent Hospital. In 1983 the Sisters of Charity of Montreal established Covenant Health Systems to direct, support and conduct their health care, elder care and social service systems throughout the United States.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.covenanthealth.net/default.aspx|title=Covenant Health}}</ref> St. Vincent's Medical Center in Toledo joined Catholic Health Partners, while Covenant Health Systems retained management of the facilities in New England.

===Sisters of the Holy Humility of Mary=== The sisters entered health care in 1879 when St. Joseph's Infirmary was built, the first Catholic hospital in the Mahoning Valley, which functioned until 1910 when the sisters were given charge of St. Elizabeth Hospital in Youngstown, Ohio.<ref>[https://case.edu/ech/articles/h/humility-mary-sisters "Humility of Mary Sisters", ''Encyclopedia of Cleveland History'', Case Western University]</ref> Two more Ohio hospitals came under the direction of the sisters - St. Joseph Health Center in Warren in 1924 and St. Elizabeth in Boardman. By 2011, '''Humility of Mary Health Partners''' was formed to oversee the administration and management of St. Elizabeth Hospital and St. Joseph Health Center and several other area health-care services.<ref>[https://www.datapay3.com/c/hum01c/contact.asp Humility of Mary Health Partners]</ref> By 2014, the hospitals were run by Catholic Health Partners.<ref name=zlatos>[https://archive.triblive.com/news/sisters-of-the-humility-of-mary-in-lawrence-county-celebrate-150th-anniversary-2/ Zlatos, Bill. "Sisters of the Humility of Mary in Lawrence County celebrate 150th anniversary", ''Tribune-Review'', July 20, 2014]</ref>

===Name changes=== Incorporated in 1986 as Mercy Health Care Systems, in 1997 the name was changed to Catholic Healthcare Partners to reflect the multiple religious communities that sponsored it. It was later shortened to Catholic Health Partners to reflect its growing emphasis on preventative care and overall wellness.<ref>[https://www.beaconjournal.com/article/20140725/NEWS/307259420 Poturalski, Hannah. "Catholic Health Partners changes name to Mercy Health", ''Akron Beacon Journal'', July 25, 2014]</ref> It became '''Mercy Health''' in 2014.<ref name=Mercyname/> On September 1, 2018, Bon Secours Health System and Mercy Health merged. The merger created one of the largest Catholic healthcare systems in the United States.
