'Mercy Babies' Help Celebrate Hospital's Centennial

Mercy Baby” families on May 18 joined in the hospital's 100th anniversary celebrations by taking a group photo on the lawn in front of the hospital.

Multi-generations participated in the day, with parents and their children to grandparents and grandchildren. The families joined in the lobby and shared their history at Mercy.

Established on the Feast of St. Patrick, March 17, 1913 in a 13-bed former sanitarium in Hempstead by the Nursing Sisters of the Sick Poor, Congregation of the Infant Jesus, Mercy has grown and developed over the decades into one of Nassau County’s leading medical institutions.
