Mercy Hospital broke ground on its new four-story Mercy Southwest Tower Expansion Project. Along with the new 106-bed patient tower, the existing hospital will undergo extensive renovations to accommodate the increase in patient volume and expansion of health care services, including cardiology, neurosurgery, oncology, orthopedics, women’s services and more.
