Mercy Health – Tiffin Hospital is proud to have provided high quality and compassionate care to the community for more than a century.
The history of Mercy Health – Tiffin Hospital dates to 1913, when a four-story building was constructed on West Market Street on seven acres of land. According to its historical marker, “community leaders and physicians promoted the necessity of a hospital that cared for all people regardless of race, creed, or color.”
“The roots of Mercy Health – Tiffin Hospital date back 110 years when the Pastor of St. Mary’s Church met with the newly appointed bishop of the Toledo Diocese, the Right Rev. Joseph Schrembs, to discuss building a charity hospital for the community,” said Andrew Morgan, president, Mercy Health – Tiffin Hospital and Mercy Health – Willard Hospital. “Since that time, Tiffin Hospital has grown and expanded, and we are excited to celebrate this milestone of more than a century of commitment to those we serve.”
When looking to create the hospital, Bishop Joseph Schrembs reached out to the Sisters of Mercy, who were known for their fine hospital work. He requested that three Sisters from their convent in Grand Rapids, Michigan be sent to administer the new hospital and convent. “Mother Bernardine McMullen, Sister Anthony McMullen, Sister DeChantel Lyons arrived in Tiffin on May 11, 1912,” the historical marker notes.
The original hospital was located at 485 West Market Street in Tiffin and underwent multiple expansion to meet the needs of the community. In 2008, the new hospital campus on St. Lawrence Steet was officially opened. The new, state of the art facility cost $60.4M with incredible community support of $5.3M to the capital campaign.
Today, Mercy Health – Tiffin Hospital has a strong network of primary care and specialty physicians as well as outpatient services to care for patients close to home. With more than 400 associates and a robust network of providers, Mercy Health – Tiffin Hospital offers several specialty services including a birthing center; emergency room; imaging center -- including mammography, CT, nuclear medicine, PET Scan – cardiology services; inpatient and outpatient surgery; cancer care; and physical therapy including pediatric therapy. Most recently, the hospital began a $3.1 million expansion to the existing labor and delivery unit, allowing for three additional rooms to provide care for area mothers, newborns and their families.
As we celebrate this milestone, Mercy Health wants to thank our providers, nurses, and entire hospital staff for the high-quality, compassionate care that they give every day to those in the Tiffin community and beyond. In particular, Mercy Health is proud that for the fifth consecutive year, Mercy Health – Tiffin Hospital has earned a ranking among healthcare providers and insurers in Modern Healthcare’s 2023 Best Places to Work award program.
Additionally, the hospital was one of 20 facilities identified on the Small Community Hospitals as a 100 Top Hospitals® according to an independent quality analysis provided by PINC AI™ and reported by Fortune. It is the second time Tiffin Hospital has appeared on the list.
