Mercy San Juan Medical Center
History
A six-story patient tower opened in December 2009, adding 110 beds.
Lawsuits
In August 2024, Mercy San Juan Medical Center and their parent organization, Dignity Health were sued for "malicious and outrageous" conduct by the family of Jessie Peterson. They had been told in April 2023 that Peterson had checked out of the hospital, when in fact she had died in the care of Mercy San Juan. The hospital had then shipped Peterson's body to a storage facility, and did not inform her family. The family did not learn of Peterson's death until April 2024. When Peterson's body was recovered, it was too decayed to determine if her death was the result of medical malpractice.
