For decades, Mercy Medical Center-Sioux City has been the area's leading hospital for the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. The Mercy Heart Center brings together experienced cardiologists and surgeons, highly trained staff and the latest technology in a modern, full-service facility.

Independent organizations that monitor and objectively measure healthcare quality have acknowledged Mercy Heart Center's leadership role in the fight against heart disease. Mercy's most recent award is the American College of Cardiology Foundation's Gold Performance Achievement Award.  This honor is awarded to hospitals who treat heart attack patients according to the most current, science-based guidelines to improve the quality, safety and outcomes of care provided to patients with coronary artery disease.  Mercy was one of only 167 hospitals nationwide to earn this award.
