While Mercy Gilbert Medical Center has a relatively short history, CHW has a long history. In fact, St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center was the first hospital in Arizona. In recent years, CHW has gained international renown for the Barrow Neurological Institute, a leader in treatment of brain and spinal cord diseases and injuries. In the East Valley, Chandler Regional Medical Center has been open for 50 years. The Mercy Gilbert name honors the Sisters of Mercy, its Sponsoring Congregation. The Sisters of Mercy was founded in the early 1800s in Ireland by Sister Catherine McAuley who had a special love for the virtue of mercy.
