History

In 2016, the health system announced plans for a $500 million renovation at MercyOne Des Moines Medical Center in downtown Des Moines. The project is expected to take five to eight years and include a new 11-story hospital tower as well as power plant. [6] [7]

Bob Ritz was appointed company president and CEO, effective July 1, 2017. [8]

In 2019, the company changed its name from Mercy Health Network to MercyOne, and rebranded its 450 locations. [9]

In 2020, an employee improperly accessed patient information; the data breach resulted in a class-action lawsuit settled by the company in 2024 for $1.8 million. [10] [11]

Trinity Health acquired CommonSpirit Health's 50% stake in MercyOne in September 2022. [4]

MercyOne merged with Genesis Health System in March 2023. [12] [13]

In 2024, the MercyOne health network comprises over 40 hospitals and more than 230 health care facilities. [1]
