The Iowa operations have been part of a 140 year system of care sponsored by the Wheaton Franciscan Sisters, formerly incorporated in 1983. In 2016, the Wheaton Franciscan Sisters transferred their Iowa operations to Mercy Health Network, an Iowa-based health care system based out of Des Moines, Iowa. Mercy Health Network (MHN) is an integrated system of member hospitals and other health and patient care facilities united into one operating organization to improve the delivery of healthcare services to the people of Iowa and adjoining states. MHNs sponsors own and operate medical centers and other services in Clinton, Des Moines, Dubuque, Mason City, and Sioux City, and community hospitals in six other locations. In addition, MHN has 27 members who participate through contracts for management and other services. Mercy Health Network (MHN) was founded in 1998 under a joint operating agreement between two of the largest Catholic, not-for-profit health organizations in the United States: Catholic Health Initiatives, based in Englewood, Colorado, and Trinity Health, based in Livonia, Michigan. Covenant Medical Center in Waterloo, Iowa was founded in 1986 when Wheaton Franciscan Services consolidated St. Francis Hospital (founded in 1912) and Schoitz Medical Center (founded in 1904). Covenant Medical Center was located in two locations until 1991 when all acute care services were combined at one site. The other site was transformed into an assisted living center and adult services center. In 1993, Franciscan Ministries transformed the former Schoitz Hospital building into Ridgeway Place, which provides housing for independent elderly residents. In 1995, Wheaton Franciscan Services Iowa region was renamed Covenant Health System and included Covenant Medical Center in Waterloo, Covenant Foundation in Waterloo, Mercy Hospital in Oelwein, N. E. Iowa Real Estate Investments and Schoitz Health Resources. Sartori Memorial Hospital became a part of Covenant Health System in 1996 when the system entered a long-term lease agreement with the City of Cedar Falls. In 2006, Covenant Health System was renamed Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare-Iowa, to reflect its continued commitment to an integrated health care delivery system for residents of Northeast Iowa. Today Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare Iowa includes Covenant Medical Center (and its unincorporated division, Covenant Clinic) and Covenant Foundation in Waterloo, Mercy Hospital in Oelwein, Sartori Memorial Hospital and Sartori Health Care Foundation in Cedar Falls, and N.
