History

Beginnings
Weve got deep roots in Southeast Michigan Nearly 100 years ago two Ann Arbor men Dr Cyrenus G Darling and Reverend ED Kelly pastor of St Thomas Church recognized the need for community health care They called on the Sisters of Mercy a Catholic religious group in Dubuque Iowa to send some of their members to work with them in establishing a hospital

From its modest beginnings in a donated home with just 17 beds the St Joseph Sanitarium soon grew to become a new 110bed facility in Ann Arbor In the early 1920s the hospital was renamed St Joseph Mercy Hospital

Around the same time a temporary hospital Mercywood Sanitarium opened on Jackson Road to serve those with mental health needs By 1925 a 40bed facility now called Mercywood Hospital was built to serve this community

Soon other small hospitals were established in the area The 18bed McPherson Memorial Hospital opened its doors in 1928 operating in a house donated by the McPherson family Nurse Cora Dickson began a househospital in Saline that same year And by 1935 a private home in Saline was transformed into a 14bed hospital

Changing needs
A growing population needs more health care facilities so in 1949 Saline Community General Hospital opened followed by the new 75bed McPherson Community Health Center in Howell Shortly after the 26bed Saline Community Hospital was ready to accept its first patients

In 1977 the new 558bed St Joseph Mercy Hospital opened on East Huron River Drive on a large area of land to allow for expansion Within two years Mercywood Hospital and St Joseph Mercy Hospital consolidated to form the Catherine McAuley Health Center and Maple Medical Center opened to serve Ann Arbors west side

In the 1980s our health system experienced still more change and growth The McPherson Community Health Center was renamed McPherson Hospital while we added two facilities on the campus of St Joseph Mercy Hospital the Ambulatory Surgery Facility and the Huron Oaks Building In the mid 80s we opened Alpha House in Ann Arbor the Reichert Health Building on the campus of St Joseph Mercy Hospital and Arbor Health Building in Plymouth

By 1986 our system increased capacity again with the 130bed Mercywood Health Building on the campus of St Joseph Mercy Hospital Today its called the Towsley Senior Health Building Population increases in the northern reaches were responsible for additional growth the McAuleyMcPherson Building in Brighton and the McAuley Health Building in Canton

McPherson Hospital joined forces with the Catherine McAuley Health Center in the early 1990s and then changed its name to Catherine McAuley Health System to reflect its expanded service area The Saline Community Hospital an 82bed facility also joined Catherine McAuley Health System

Modern milestones
We opened the Michigan Heart amp Vascular Institute in 1994 on the campus of St Joseph Mercy Hospital

Catherine McAuley Health System entered a twoyear association with Providence to become Mission Health in 1995

At the end of the twoyear association Catherine McAuley Health System became Saint Joseph Mercy Health System in 1997
