Posted on: Wednesday, 12 October 2005, 15:00 CDT
CHICAGO, Oct. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- It was recently reported in both broadcast and print that a recently arrested anesthesiologist, Dr. Ahlert, planned to work at Mercy Hospital; however, Dr. Ahlert was never at any point cleared or even interviewed by Mercy Hospital & Medical Center. Mercy's Public Relations Department was never contacted to confirm this information.
Mercy Hospital subscribes to the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) process, which we follow to the fullest when credentialing physicians for medical staff appointments. Mercy Hospital & Medical Center takes pride in our physicians and the thorough and detailed procedure we conduct to credential them. The best and brightest come to practice and teach at Mercy Hospital. Although many physicians visit Mercy each year, this in no way initiates or qualifies one to undergo our credentialing process.
Mercy Hospital, Chicago's First Hospital, has been serving the community for 153 years. Our historic and ever expanding care is a reflection of our dedication to the provision of quality health care delivered by renowned and respected physicians within the city and beyond.
Mercy Hospital & Medical Center is home to one of the city's leading Heart & Vascular Centers recently rated the best in the city of Chicago for Cardiovascular Services by HealthGrades -- a leading health care research company, a new Comprehensive Breast & Women's Health Care Center, a NEW Center for Weight Management, and Chicago's newest advanced Emergency Center. Mercy's ideal location, just minutes south of the loop, is easily accessible by all main arteries. And at Mercy, patients and visitors will find convenient, free parking.
