In 1879, the Sisters of Mercy arrived in Dubuque at the request of Bishop John Hennessy to launch a healing ministry now known as MercyOne Dubuque Medical Center. Today, MercyOne Dubuque is the leading hospital in the tri-states, offering the only comprehensive cardiology center and level II regional neonatal intensive care unit in the area as well as the newly constructed MercyOne Dubuque Cancer Center. Other services include a trauma center, a CARF-accredited inpatient rehabilitation unit, home health care, orthopedics, retail pharmacies, palliative care, and a wide range of outpatient and community services. MercyOne operates two hospital-based skilled nursing units and a 40-bed nursing home.

In recognition of the strength of its nursing service and the overall quality of patient care, MercyOne Dubuque has been designated a Magnet® hospital four consecutive times - the nation's most prestigious award for nursing excellence.

MercyOne Dubuque Medical Center is dedicated to serving and benefiting our community, whether we are providing care for those who cannot afford it or supporting programs to address identified community needs. And the community, in turn, supports MercyOne by serving on our boards, volunteering in our hospital, and providing generous philanthropy.

Together, we are continuing to serve the MercyOne mission by living the values of integrity, commitment to the poor, compassion, excellence, justice, stewardship, and reverence.
