MercyOne (formerly Mercy Health Network) is an American non-profit system of hospitals, clinics, and health care facilities in the U.S. states of Iowa,[1] Nebraska and surrounding communities. It is run under a joint operating agreement between Catholic Health Initiatives and Trinity Health.[2] Bob Ritz is the current CEO, assuming the role on July 1, 2017.[3]

In 2016, the health system announced plans for a $500 million renovation at MercyOne Des Moines Medical Center in downtown Des Moines. The project is expected to take five to eight years and include a new 11-story hospital tower as well as power plant.[4][5] An Iowa Hospital Association study said that MercyOne North Iowa Medical Center, one of the system's hospitals in Mason City, accounts for 2,500 jobs and adds $226.7 million to the local economy.[6]
