History
Report
First Mercy Hospital, 1873; located in the Mechanics Academy Building (built in 1842) on Linn Street. Mercy Hospital was founded in 1873 by four Sisters of Mercy who traveled from Davenport, Iowa, by train, carrying as many furnishings and medical supplies as they could manage.
They came at the invitation of Dr. W.F. Peck, dean of the young Medical School of the State University of Iowa, who wanted the Sisters to establish a hospital in Iowa City.Such a hospital would provide a facility where medical students could gain clinical experience and the Sisters could pursue their mission of caring for the poor and sick.
