Mercy and Ascension announced an agreement Thursday morning to transfer ownership of Ascension Via Christi Hospital in Pittsburg, Kansas, its locations and its related physician practices to Mercy. “Via Christi and Mercy have both served the area for more than 120 years, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to bring the hospital into the Mercy system,” Jeremy Drinkwitz, president of Mercy Joplin communities, said in a statement. “We’ve been impressed with the care Via Christi has provided Pittsburg for years, and we want to continue that long legacy of Catholic health care. We’re 100% committed to caring for Pittsburg and all of Southeast Kansas for years to come.”
