This year, those measures include quality of care, quality improvement, patient experience, best practices implementation and more. Since 2005, Mercy has been recognized as a “top 100” agency six times, as a “top 500” agency four times, and among the top 25 percent of agencies once.

"It takes true dedication and tremendous hard work to be named in the top 100 home health agencies in the country,” said Tina Gallegos, director of Mercy Home Health and Hospice of Mercy. “This designation is a direct indicator of the commitment of our staff who work tirelessly to deliver quality, compassionate care to our patients. We are thrilled to share this remarkable achievement with the communities we serve."
