Quality Collaboratives

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

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.

Like the Sisters of Mercy Before Us
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.”

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.
