CANTON Mercy Medical Center has a new name and a new president.
The 476-bed Catholic hospital, now called Cleveland Clinic Mercy Hospital, officially became the 19th hospital in the Cleveland Clinic System on Monday.
Mercy will maintain its Catholic identity through sponsorship by the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine.
Patients will notice few immediate changes. All services, including the hospital's COVID-19 response, will go forward uninterrupted.
Patients will see their same physicians and providers at their same locations, Mercy's employees will continue providing care, all operations and appointments will proceed as scheduled and all current insurance plans will be accepted, the system said.
