Where to find Mercy Birthplace

What parents say

Amazing Experience. I gave birth in 2019 @ St Lukes and birth in 2021 @ Mercy. I would say Mercy was hands down the better experience overall. I absolutely loved the nurses, the care, the food and everyone went above and beyond for us.

★★★★★ — Katie, 2021-03

Had a great experience here with the staff. They made a surrogacy birth seamless and did their research before I arrived and was able to answer all our questions thoroughly. The only problem that I had is that a Highschool student shadowing was let in to watch me give birth without my consent.

★★★★☆ — Elizabeth, 2025-07

I had my first baby 2 months ago and I was so impressed with all of the nurses and physicians who took care of us! We were treated like family and everyone went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable! I am so grateful to everyone here for helping my son enter this world safe and healthy.

★★★★★ — Brianna, 2020-01

I absolutely loved my experience here at Mercy Hospital! Everyone made me feel loved & accepted. I absolutely adored Brittney & Moira, they were so understanding, they made sure I was well taken care of, & that I left with no questions unanswered!
