History

Mercy Health Lorain Hospital was crated after St. Joseph's and Lorain Community Hospital merged. [2] St. Joseph's Hospital was founded by Franciscans in 1892. The Sisters of the Holy Humility of Mary began managing the hospital in 1910 and took over ownership in 1927. [3] In 1996 they took possession of Loraine Community Hospital--built in 1964 [4] --and merged the two. St Joseph's was closed in 1997 and turned into a community center. After a series of expansion and updates, the hospital was named Mercy Health Lorain Hospital in 2014. [5]
