Mercy Homecare
Homecare in the Comfort of Your Own Home
Sometimes the best medicine can be the comfortable, familiar surroundings of your own home. That’s why Mercy Homecare provides quality and compassionate home health services to promote recovery, rehabilitation and maximum independence 24–hours a day, seven days a week.
Mercy Homecare offers skilled nursing, rehabilitative therapy, home health aides, nutrition counseling, social services and pastoral care. As the first in Stark County to offer telemonitoring, Mercy Homecare clinicians can monitor patients with chronic disease – such as heart failure, diabetes and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder – in between their regularly scheduled visits.
The Ohio keystone Peer Review Organization (KePRO) identified Mercy Homecare as one of the top 10 homecare agencies in Ohio for reducing the percentage of patients requiring re–hospitalization.
In 2007, OCS, Inc., a leading post–acute healthcare information company, released its HomeCare Elite list, naming Mercy Homecare among the 500 best–performing home health care agencies in the U.S. This places Mercy in the nation’s top 10 percent in homecare services.

Mercy Medical Center Cardiovascular Milestones:
A History of Pioneering Excellence in Heart Care (click to view)
Mercy Heart Center commits the very finest medical resources to caring for its heart patients. Doctors and healthcare teams are leaders in cardiovascular treatment, distinguished not only by their skill, experience and knowledge, but by their excellent track record in helping patients return to active and productive lives.
Mercy has helped pioneer some of the nation’s most innovative heart procedures and was the first hospital in Northeast Ohio to perform Minimally Invasive Direct Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery, a “closed-chest” procedure, which postpones or eliminates the need for open-heart surgery.
Mercy Heart Center medical staff performed this area’s first hybrid revascularization, which combines the da Vinci© robotic single-vessel small thoracotomy (SVST) procedure with angioplasty.
Mercy Emergency Chest Pain Center (ECPC) became America’s first chest pain center to become fully accredited by the Society of Chest Pain Centers. The ECPC is home to a Cardiac Catheterization Lab within Mercy’s Emergency Department, where a Mercy cardiologist was the first in the world to perform an angioplasty inside an emergency department. Studies show that angioplasty, performed within 90 minutes of arrival to the emergency department, is the best way to save the life of a patient experiencing a heart attack. With the area’s only emergency department cath lab, Mercy has the capabilities to dramatically reduce the time between heart attack and lifesaving angioplasty.
