Catholic Healthcare West (Now Dignity Health)

While Mercy Gilbert Medical Center has a relatively short history, CHW has a long history. In fact, St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center was the first hospital in Arizona. In recent years, CHW has gained international renown for the Barrow Neurological Institute, a leader in treatment of brain and spinal cord diseases and injuries. In the East Valley, Chandler Regional Medical Center has been open for 50 years. The Mercy Gilbert name honors the Sisters of Mercy, its Sponsoring Congregation. The Sisters of Mercy was founded in the early 1800s in Ireland by Sister Catherine McAuley who had a special love for the virtue of mercy.

Center for Clinical Research

As a member of CHW, Mercy Gilbert Medical Center is supported by the CHW network of 18 internal Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) which provide oversight for nearly 1,000 clinical trials across the system.
