Mercy Hospital, Joplin, MO

The 2011 Joplin tornado took more than 160 lives and directly hit the then, St. John’s Regional Medical Centre. Co-workers and volunteers evacuated 183 patients from the badly-damaged facility. The lessons learned during the tornado are evident in approximately $11 million in upgrades specifically designed to harden the new hospital against natural disasters. Gripple products were installed throughout.

How very sad that this hospital was destroyed by a storm and then those trusted to care for patients cut through the live's of patients like a Category Five storm. Mercy Administrators are currently enjoying the perks of their positions while hiding abuses from the public. Too often the persecuted become the persecutors. Those persecuted by a storm survived to inflict abuse on patients. Like the Clergy Abuse Scandal, Catholic Healthcare abuses are being uncovered. Back-door deals and intimidation are the preferred method of any abusive body. The public has a right know of the legacy of abuse beginning well before the tornado and extending into Mercy Joplin patient care to this very day. Mercy Administration, I am calling upon you to do the right thing and let the public know of the abuse you allowed or enabled to take place. Stop the false hospital admissions, insurance fraud, legal detention as a form of intimidation, withholding medical records, putting members of Mercy on the Joplin Chamber of Commerce when they have knowingly violated HIPPA laws. Tell the truth and end the tornado.
