Mercy Medical Center

On a chilly November 11, 1874, six Sisters of Mercy arrived in Baltimore to take charge of a health dispensary called the Baltimore City Hospital. Situated in a former schoolhouse at the corner of Calvert and Saratoga Streets, it was a dingy building whose meager appearance belied its enormous promise. Over a century later, that promise has been fulfilled thanks to The Sisters of Mercy and the many medical and professional team who provided care to generations of Baltimoreans on the same site where Mercy was established.
