Heritage/Generosity of Spirit/Community Benefit
The Sisters of Mercy, an order of Catholic sisters based in Auburn, California, oversee the works of Mercy Medical Center Mt. Shasta. Built on a foundation of giving back to the community it serves, Mercy is set-apart by its religious heritage and culture and deeply held core values of dignity, stewardship, justice, collaboration, and excellence. The staff, physicians and volunteers are guided by a desire to serve the needs of the community with compassion and commitment to quality, with a respect for each individual. Mercy Foundation North, a non-profit organization sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy of Auburn, develops, manages and distributes resources to support the continuation of the works of the Sisters of Mercy in the areas of health care, education and social services.
Mercy Mt. Shasta offers a variety of support groups, educational classes, seminars and screenings throughout the year to help keep the communities it serves healthy. As an integral and valued part of the community, Mercy Mt. Shasta is involved with area schools, the College of the Siskiyous, churches and local civic organizations. Local CHW/Mercy Mt. Shasta grants are provided every year to those area organizations who apply for funding for specific healthcare related projects, and high school/continuing education scholarships are awarded for students pursuing a career in the healthcare field.
Through focus on issues of "Community Benefit," Mercy Mt. Shasta seeks to address the unmet health-related needs of the communities it serves by performing a county-wide "Health Needs Assessment" every three years, through contract with a professional research firm. Results are compiled to determine the current health status, behaviors and needs of the county, and to provide strategic direction for Mercy Mt. Shasta. This Assessment illuminates basic goals required for community benefit planning: Improve residents' health status, increase their life spans, elevate overall quality of life, reduce the health disparities among area residents, increase accessibility to preventive services for all residents, and assist local medical centers in meeting Community Benefit requirements according to state legislation.
