Why I Chose MHP

Why I Work at Mercy Health Partners...

- Bernie Westphal, BSN, RN, Telemetry/Med-Surg

“MHP is a great place to work. When I was going through a family crises, my manager and director allowed me the opportunity to flex my hours and my co-workers adjusted their schedules, which made it possible for me to still fulfill my work obligations while meeting my families needs. This is a great statement as we continue on our journey toward Magnet® recognition status.”
- Nancy O’Brien, RN, Emergency Department

“I work at MHP because it is like my second home. The atmosphere at MHP is friendly and personable. The senior leadership has made me feel like my nursing career is important and allow each associate to pursue advanced degrees and career advancement opportunity. The quote: ‘The task of the leader is to get his/her people from where they are to where they have not been’ by Henry Kissinger, is what I think of when I look at the nursing leadership within MHP.”
- Debbie O’Brien, BSN, RN, Clinical Liaison, Quality Care and Transformation

“Mercy has accommodated my growth both personally, educationally and professionally. It’s progressive, has opportunities for advancement, and is just a great place to work! I love the Mercy philosophy, mission and values. Nowhere is perfect, but I can sincerely say, Mercy does strive to live up to being the Employer of Choice!”
- Joyce Starr, MEd, BSN, RN, Clinical Resource Specialist

“As a nursing student, I saw first hand the care the nurses on each floor put into their practices; the culture was professional, and communication between nurses and doctors was good. I found this to be the kind of hospital I wanted to work in. Now that I am practicing nursing at Mercy, I’m really glad I made this choice. I am involved not only in the care of my patients, but through involvement in committees, I am able to improve patient care practices and participate in community projects. I like the fact that I work and live in this area; it gives me a real sense of belonging.”
- Becky Fischer, RN, Ortho/Neuro
