For Our Community

In addition to reusing and  refurbishing art and materials from St. Johns' former facilities in the new Patient Tower, we've almost exclusively retained the work of local artists to decorate our new lobby and patient floors. ¢ Click here for a complete description of the art featured in the new building.

St. John's is pleased to offer our community the opportunity to utilize and enjoy our new facility.

Grand opening activities will include a community health fair in the Catherine McAuley Conference Center from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Like other conference facilities on the St. John's campus, the McAuley Center will be available for community use by reservation.

Brick pavers

St. John’s Foundation for Community Health has established the courtyard brick paver program to express gratitude, recognize and pay tribute to individuals who have a special bond with St. John’s.

The pavers will be placed in the outdoor courtyards of the new Patient Tower. Pictured at right are pavers at the foot of a water feature in the west courtyard.

Participants in this unique program can select from two sizes of brick pavers. Sizes are: 4” x 8” ($125) which includes up to three lines, 20 characters per line including spaces or 8” x 8” ($500) which includes up to six inscription lines or logo (6” logo, camera-ready art).

If you are interested in reserving a paver, please contact St. John’s Foundation for Community Health at 417-820-6111 or stjohns.foundation@mercy.net.

History Wall

The history wall, which runs along the east wall of the Catherine McAuley Conference Center, tells the story of the Sisters of Mercy in the mid-1800’s and continues St. John’s history from 1891 through today.

The history wall is accented with Celtic lettering in the spirit of the Irish heritage of the Sisters of Mercy.
