Stark County's Most Experienced Robotic Team
Robotic-assisted surgery is transforming minimally invasive surgery. Mercy Robotic Surgery Center offers Stark County’s most experienced team of surgeons leading the way in robotic-assisted heart, urology, gynecology and other general surgeries. With two da Vinci robots on site, Mercy Robotic Surgery Center offers patients an alternative to traditional surgery–with its large open incisions–and laparoscopy, which is typically limited to very simple procedures. And its precision consistently provides good patient outcomes.
Patients can normally look forward to:
A faster recovery and less scarring.
Reduced blood loss and risk of infection.
Significantly less pain and a shorter hospital stay.
A quicker return to normal activities.

LIVE OPERATORS
Mercy Medical Center maintains a 24/7 staff of PBX operators, providing appropriate staffing levels to ensure responsive answering of incoming calls. All operators are trained to provide courteous service to all callers. New operators receive extensive training before they work independently.
ON-CALL SCHEDULES
The AMTELCO system allows us to maintain a current on-call list with the ability to make immediate changes according to the needs of each physician. Clients can maintain their oncall schedule through the internet.
INDIVIDUALIZED CLIENT PROTOCOLS
Since we can identify where a forwarded phone call is coming from, the Infinity system allows us to “pop up” a unique instruction screen for each answering service client. The instructions for handling that client’s calls can be tailored to the needs of the physician and their practice.
PAGING AND CELL TEXT SERVICES
Physicians are paged/texted/emailed according to the instructions provided by the client. These instructions are presented to the operator automatically as a call is received for that answering service client. Physicians can be paged on numeric or alpha pagers or cell phones. Physicians using alpha page or cell text can receive information related to the patient and their problem before calling in.
PAGER RENTALS USA
Mobility pagers may be rented through this service. There is no mark up in pricing. By providing this “pass through” service, we are able to offer exchange pagers to facilitate quick exchanges for defective pagers. We maintain spare pagers to assist physicians with “no hassle” pager exchanges.
DAILY FAXING/EMAILING
On a daily basis (7 days a week), the messages for each physician office can be faxed or e-mailed automatically to a designated fax number or e-mail address.
REMOTE RECEPTION SERVICE
This service allows us to answer the client’s “overflow” calls when the office phone lines are busy. Upon completion of the call, the message is immediately faxed to the client’s office.
WEB ACCESS TO MESSAGES
The client can access their daily messages via the internet. They can determine how many days of messages are maintained before they are archived.
PERSONALIZED GREETING
The AMTECO Infinity system allows each client to have a personalized greeting. This greeting can provide the caller with office hours, emergency instructions or other relevant information. This greeting may be re-recorded at any time to reflect changes.
DOCUMENTATION
All pages and messages are documented in a database that is archived daily. All archived messages and pages are searchable and retrievable for any inquiries.
FEES
The fee structure is based on messages taken and other services provided. A separate options and pricing sheet is provided.

Overview of Cancer Center
Mercy Cancer Center has been accredited since 1986 as a Community Hospital Comprehensive Cancer Program by the Commission on Cancer (CoC) of the American College of Surgeons. In 2008 CoC awarded Mercy Cancer Center the Outstanding Achievement Award for excellence in cancer care. Mercy is the only area hospital and one of just 95 facilities nationwide to earn the award, along with the CoC¹s three-year re-accreditation with commendation. Fewer than 20 percent of cancer programs in the United States attain this superior recognition. This earmark of quality ensures patients will receive the very best comprehensive cancer care without ever leaving Stark County.
At the Mercy Cancer Center, we believe that to be truly effective, we must be comprehensive in our approach to the treatment of cancer. We are committed to offering the very best possible care and outcomes for the patients and families we serve. Our goal is to make it easier for you if we can.
Treating approximately 700 new cancer patients every year, the Mercy Cancer Center offers state-of-the-art diagnostics and surgical facilities, innovative treatments with chemotherapy and radiation, national cancer research trials and the latest in cancer information. But what sets us apart from other providers is our holistic approach to cancer care. At the Mercy Cancer Center, we strive to take care of the whole person and not just their cancer. That means we start with progressive and technologically advanced treatment and then surround you with nurturing and supportive services to help you throughout your cancer journey.
We invite you to learn more about our services, physicians and staff by viewing the various sections of our website. More than ever before, the Mercy Cancer Center is dedicated to providing the very best in cancer care and we are proud to serve our community and region.
