Under the agreement, Perry County Memorial will be renamed Mercy Hospital Perry and will transition to an Epic EHR system, an investment totaling $6.5 million, according to a Sept. 14 news release from Mercy.
Perry County Memorial is the 17th critical access hospital that Mercy operates as the owner or through a lease agreement.
As stated in March during the initial announcement, Mercy intends to retain all current employees at Perry County Health System.
