Mission & Values


Our Mission

The Pittsburgh Mercy Health System, a member of Catholic Health East and sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy, is an extension of the Catholic health care ministry to all people in Southwestern Pennsylvania. We carry out our mission through our core values and with a commitment to being a transforming, healing presence within the communities we serve. We stand with the vulnerable of our communities in assessing need, collaborating with others, providing services that address the whole person, and advocating for social change.

The New Look of Hope

Our new brand identity and tagline reflect who PMHS is today. Our history of hard work, hands-on service, compassion, and our niche in the Pittsburgh market today are themes upon which our new identity and heritage of hope is built.
