Celebrating our Legacy, Excited about our
Future
St. Joseph Mercy Port Huron has been at the
heart of our community for the past 60 years working to build trust and improve
the health of the Blue Water Area. Our journey has taken us on many twists and
turns. Now, as a member of the Prime Healthcare family, we have another
opportunity to improve and expand our services and elevate the quality of care
our community has come to depend on from our hospital.
St. Joseph Mercy Port Huron will now become
Lake Huron Medical Center, a name not only focusing on our area's greatest
treasure but one that is all-encompassing for the level and types of care we
will continue to provide and champion for our neighbors. With a proven track
record for successfully sustaining and advancing access to quality health care
services among its acquired hospitals, Prime Healthcare is committed to the
Blue Water Area and to building upon our foundation—a foundation built with
care focused on the mind, body and spirit of all who walk through our doors.
Our history of service dates back to 1954, when
the hospital was founded by the Religious Sisters of Mercy. The original
building still serves our community, with several major expansions taking place
over the years – and more expansion planned in the near future. Lake Huron
Medical Center (LHMC) is a 144-bed acute care hospital conveniently located on
Electric Avenue in Port Huron. Lake Huron Medical Center, now a member of the
Prime Healthcare family offers high-quality and compassionate care and a
variety of inpatient and outpatient services catered to meet the health care
needs of the Blue Water and Thumb communities.
