Mercy Hospital Joplin - Virtual Tour
Welcome to Mercy Joplin. It's easy to spot Mercy Joplin on a drive along I-44 through Joplin, Missouri. To get to our campus, take Exit 6 at I-44 and Hearnes Blvd. Not only is the facility a state-of-the-art resource for care and healing, it's a testament to Mercy's commitment to the people of southwest Missouri.

Healing Garden
Our Healing Garden, located just outside our oncology infusion area, is a relaxing fresh-air retreat for patients and families. Weather permitting, the garden allows patients to receive infusion treatments outside.
Clinic Entrance
If you are coming to Mercy for a physician appointment or an outpatient service, we recommend you use the Clinic Entrance on the west side. Here, you will enter on the second floor, where you will find easy access to physician offices and outpatient services including lab, imaging, non-chemo infusion clinic, PET/CT and our breast center. Our retail pharmacy is also conveniently located inside this entrance, along with a coffee bar serving Starbucks coffee and delicious refreshments.
Mercy
Mercy's PET/CT procedure uses state-of-the-art technology to capture images within the body. The PET scan captures changes in the body's metabolism caused by the growth of abnormal cells and is used to detect abnormalities in cellular activity generally before there is any anatomical change. The CT scan uses x-rays and a computer to make detailed images of sections of the body's internal structure. A CT scan shows the body's organs, bones and tissues in great detail. Our one machine does both the PET and the CT scans and shows each separately plus a third set of co-registered (or fused) images.
Vessel Walls
The hospital and clinic lobbies feature Vessel Walls, simple artistic displays of handmade bowls, cups and basins. The vessels are diverse in shape and size and represent the promise made by Mercy co-workers to be "poured out" in service to others.
Hospital Entrance
The hospital main entrance and patient pickup is located on the east side of the campus. Inside the front door, you’ll find an information desk staffed with friendly volunteers who will be happy to escort you to your destination. Nearby are waiting areas for surgery, nuclear medicine and imaging.
Patient Pickup
Following a hospital stay or an outpatient procedure, patients will be discharged through the Patient Pickup canopy located just south of the main hospital entrance. This allows for easy access to personal vehicles and eliminates congestion at the hospital entrance.
Clinic Offices
Physician services are located on several floors of the clinic, and specialties correspond to inpatient services provided on those floors. Level 3 features cardiology services and diagnostic testing; cardiac, thoracic and vascular surgery; the vein center; and cardiac and pulmonary rehab. Level 4 includes pulmonology, gastroenterology, orthopedic surgery, outpatient therapy, general surgery, infectious disease, and plastic surgery. On Level 5, you will find ENT/allergy, audiology, endocrinology, internal medicine/palliative care, neurology, neurosurgery, pain management, urology and diabetes education, along with our Women's Health providers.

Lanterns
Symbols of the Sisters of Mercy heritage are woven into the building's architecture. Patients and visitors approaching the building's main entrances are drawn to the "lanterns," a multi-floor glass enclosure lit around the clock. Vertical and horizontal dividers within the windows converge to form the shape of the cross.

The center has a dedicated entrance on the property’s south side and is designed for optimal patient comfort, treatment and support. The space includes peaceful waiting areas, private infusion rooms, a courtyard, a cancer resource center and an oncology boutique.
Linear Accelerator
Mercy's linear accelerator allows our doctors to use 3-D imaging and fusion technology with CT scans, MRI imaging and PET scans to more accurately identify cancers within the body. This information assists our radiation oncologists in developing individualized treatment plans for patients based on their body size and the shape of their tumor, facilitating quicker treatments with pinpoint accuracy.Oncology Infusion Center
