Mercy Medical Center, officially Ascension Northeast Wisconsin Mercy Hospital, is a hospital founded in 1891 that serves the city of Oshkosh, in Winnebago County, Wisconsin. Its emergency department is a level III trauma center.[1]
History[edit | edit source]
Mercy Medical Center was founded by Father Roman Scholter, pastor of St. Mary's Church in 1891. He convinced the Sisters of the Sorrowful Mother to come to Oshkosh and start St. Mary's Hospital. In 1895 the hospital moved into a four-story facility on the corner of Merritt and Boyd Streets which could accommodate 26 patients. In 1918, St. Mary's bought Lakeside Hospital on the other side town which they renamed as Mercy Hospital. The current building opened in 2000.[2]
As of February 2018, the St. Mary's building operates as city-owned low-income apartments. The Lakeside Hospital building operates as a retirement community.
