Since the first hospital opened in 1906, the Sisters of Mercy and Mater staff have upheld the philosophy and Mission of offering compassionate care to the sick and needy according to the values of mercy, dignity, care, commitment and quality.

Mater's history reflects the commitment of the Sisters of Mercy and now the Board of Directors and management team to provide care, education, training and research in the core clinical areas of Mater.
