In addition, a full range of medical specialists consult on site at Mercy Care East and Marinoto Clinic; conveniently located alongside a Southern Community Laboratories collection centre and Pacific Radiology.
MERCY CANCER CARE
Mercy Cancer Care was established in 2011 to provide both Otago and Southland residents choice when facing a cancer diagnosis. Both medical and radiotherapy consultations, and a full range of systemic treatment options are available at this purpose-built unit in central Dunedin. Patients and their whānau benefit from minimal wait times and exceptional care delivered in a private and welcoming environment.
MANAAKI BY MERCY
Manaaki by Mercy was purpose-built in 2016 in response to changing health needs in the community. With two state-of-the-art operating theatres and associated recovery areas, Manaaki is primarily a day surgery facility, where patients have their procedure and go home on the same day. Endoscopies and eye surgery are performed at Manaaki, as well as some orthopaedic, dental and gynaecology procedures.
Mercy Heart Centre was established in 2004 to provide specialist cardiac and vascular care to residents of Otago and Southland. Mercy’s consultant cardiologists specialise in the diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease through the use of angiograms and angioplasty.
CHARITABLE OUTREACH
Mercy Hospital is a not-for-profit organisation and proudly continues the legacy of its founders, the Sisters of Mercy, through charitable outreach. Every year, Mercy invests substantially in community organisations to assist them in delivering their programmes to those in need. Mercy also offers surgical fees relief for patients who are unlikely to receive timely surgical intervention in the public sector.
LOOKING FORWARD
Mercy continues to develop its services, and invest in its campus and people to ensure it is equipped to serve the future health needs of the Otago and Southland community. As part of this strategic growth, Mercy has recently opened a new 22-bed inpatient ward, as well as a redeveloped three-bed intensive care unit. The next stage of campus development will involve the addition of a ninth operating theatre, which Mercy’s CEO Mr Richard Whitney says will ensure Mercy is well positioned to grow service delivery capacity.
