Quality Collaboratives
Magnet Nursing
Centers of Distinction
Home Care Services
Quality and patient safety
measures remained above State
averages and Mercy continued
its involvement in seven quality
collaboratives with the Maryland
Patient Safety Center.
Mercy was named a Magnet
hospital by The American
Nurse Credentialing Center,
a distinction held by less than
seven percent of the nation’s
hospitals. The nursing vacancy
rate averaged just 1% during
the year, well below the statewide-average of 5.3%. In addition,
patient care was enhanced by
new models of collaboration
and innovative technology.
Mercy’s orthopedic and spine
programs were named Blue
Centers of Distinction. In addition,
U.S. News & World Report recognized the strength of Mercy
programs in cancer, diabetes and
endocrinology, gastroenterology,
geriatrics, gynecology, kidney
disorders, neurology and neurosurgery, orthopedics, pulmonology,
and urology.
Stella Maris expanded its home
care services with the same reputation for excellence found in
long-term care, rehabilitation,
hospice, and adult day services.
Investments in Technology
Computerized Physician Order
Entry was expanded to enhance
patient care and position Mercy
to access public funding for continued investments in technology.
LEED Silver Certification
Mercy Ridge celebrated its tenth
anniversary with the announcement that it had become the first
retirement community in the
nation to be recognized with LEED

Pioneers
➤
Sister Paula Marie Phelan, RSM
In 1944, after eight years as a school teacher
in Baltimore and Columbus, Georgia, Sister
Paula Marie was surprised to learn that she
had been appointed Laboratory Educational
Director at Mercy. Confident in what she
had learned from the Sisters of Mercy while
earning her bachelor’s degree in science from
Mount Saint Agnes College, she accepted
this new challenge and went on to establish
Mercy’s own Medical Technology School.
After stepping down in 1992, she continued
to influence Mercy’s Laboratory staff, ensuring that accuracy and efficiency remained
touchstones for another generation of
health care workers, including Maureen
Ciesielski who joined Mercy in 1976.
➤
“Teaching and learning are
a vital part of the Mercy
mission. Medical students,
residents, fellows, and experts
in every field can be found
around every corner. The focus
on the science of medicine is
pervasive, but it’s matched by
the art and heart of healing,
which is shared with everyone
who comes to our doors.”

Sister Helen Amos, RSM
In 1991, when the Board of Trustees began
its search for a President and CEO to succeed
Sister Mary Thomas Zinkand, RSM, who had
served in the role from 1953 to 1958 and
again from 1963 to 1992, they selected one
of their own - someone they had known well
and who had been a member of the Board
since 1980. Sister Helen Amos, RSM served
as President and CEO from 1992 to 1999 and
has been Executive Chair of the Board of
Trustees since that time. During her tenure,
the creation of Mercy’s flagship program
in women’s health and medicine , led by
Neil B. Rosenshein, M.D., launched the
establishment of other Centers of Excellence,
broadening Mercy’s reputation throughout
Maryland, the Mid-Atlantic, and in some
specialties, across the country.

“Providing excellent clinical
and residential services doesn’t
just happen. It takes leadership, commitment, passion,

the number of people who do.

Sister Louis Mary Battle, RSM
Gracious southern hospitality and a disarming

of Mercy. Birmingham, Alabama native Sister
Louis Mary Battle, RSM is blessed with the
added qualities of innovation and motivation.
As President of Stella Maris from 1969
to 1997, she developed new programs and
services for seniors, transforming a traditional
retirement center into a comprehensive
center for senior services. During that time,
and since 1997 as President Emerita, Sister
Louis Mary has been equally known for
serving as mentor, champion, and confidant
for hundreds of employees, bringing forth
loving hearts and compassionate service to
the sick, the elderly, and the dying.

The Mary Catherine Bunting Center
On December 19, 2010, The Mary Catherine Bunting Center welcomed patients with
its capacity to offer 259 private patient rooms, 15 state-of-the-art operating rooms,
advanced diagnostic and treatment areas, and space for new centers of excellence.
●
The Mary Catherine Bunting Center was the result of
the Strategic Plan approved by the Board of Trustees in
2004 calling for the development of a long-range plan
for Mercy’s downtown campus. The Tower Building
(now known as McAuley Plaza) was designed in the 1950s
and opened in 1963. Led by Richard O. Berndt, a Special
Planning Committee of the Board of Trustees determined
that replacement, not renovation, was the best course of
action to ensure that Mercy would remain a vibrant part
of downtown Baltimore for decades to come.
●
Mercy benefitted from the cooperation and support
of Baltimore City, including Mayor Stephanie RawlingsBlake, City Council President Bernard “Jack” Young,
City Councilman William Cole, Baltimore Development
Corporation President M. J. Brodie, and many other city
departments and agencies.
●
The experience and strength of The Whiting-Turner
Contracting Company led to the project’s completion
seven months ahead of the original construction
schedule. In addition, careful planning ensured that
the project did not lead to a decrease in patient visits
during construction.

●
The Building Congress and Exchange of Metropolitan
Baltimore recognized excellence in design and construction with awards for brick masonry to Henry J.
Knott Masonry, electrical conduit to Gill-Simpson,
stone masonry to Rugo Stone, and the pneumatic tube
system to Pevco Systems International.
●
The Greater Baltimore Committee recognized Mercy
with the Bridging the Gap Achievement Award for
creating a minority business partnership and strategic
alliance with The Whiting-Turner Contracting Company, the Maryland Washington Minority Contractor
Association, and Congressman Elijah Cummings.

At the December 2, 2010, preview for benefactors and

Sister Ruth Handren, RSM
Until last year, Sister Ruth Handren, RSM

leader to build an entire hospital. With a
bachelor’s degree in nursing from Mount
St. Agnes College and a master’s degree in
social work from St. Louis University, Sister
Ruth (then known as Sister Scholastica)
served as Mercy’s Administrator from 1959
to 1963, leading construction of the Tower
Building, now known as McAuley Plaza.
This historic project is credited with playing
an important role in the renaissance of
downtown Baltimore. Now a resident of
Mercy Villa, the Sisters of Mercy retirement
center in Baltimore, Sister Ruth visited
The Mary Catherine Bunting Center on

“The Sisters who preceded
me as either Administrator
