========================
25 Years and Growing
Mercy Hospital of Folsom's origin lies deep within the heart of the community it serves. In September of 1960, Jack Kipp's five-year old daughter was playing next door when she got her foot caught in a rotary power lawn mower being operated by her best friend. Jack heard her cries and went running. When he reached his daughter, she was in a pool of blood. He scooped her up and ran her across the street to the convalescent home where they put a tourniquet on her badly bleeding foot. He summoned a friend in the police department to drive them from Folsom down to North Sacramento to the closest hospital. There she received care for cut tendons, a broken big toe and 250 stitches in her foot. At 2 a.m., after a long day's ordeal, Jack and his wife finally sat down together and vowed to bring hospital care closer to home. Twin Lakes Hospital was opened on Feb. 19, 1962. Jack, who has served the Folsom community in many leadership roles, including mayor, was the first administrator of the new hospital.

Sisters of Mercy Step In
The hospital changed hands twice and was on the brink of closure when the Sisters of Mercy were asked to help. They acquired the 30-bed facility in 1980 to ensure the healthcare safety net would endure in the region. During the 1980s, the population of Folsom began booming as large employers, including Intel, moved to town. In 1989, the Sisters opened a new 95-bed hospital on Creekside Drive in Folsom, located on a 26-acre parcel of property donated by the Cummings and Tsakopoulos families.

Mercy Hospital of Folsom has a long history of partnering with the community to provide the best possible healthcare services and facility for patients. More than 20 years after the Sisters of Mercy acquired Twin Lakes Hospital and renamed it Mercy Hospital of Folsom, the hospital continues to influence the health and well-being of the communities it serves, well beyond the hospital walls. From free health screenings to providing medical care for the community's poorest through two community clinics, Mercy Hospital of Folsom's mission of caring for all, remains unchanged.

Mercy Hospital of Folsom Today
As the sole hospital serving Folsom and the foothills communities, Mercy Hospital of Folsom is the primary healthcare resource for a population of more than 100,000 residents - a population that is expected to increase by nearly 50% over the next 10 years. During the last several years as the population has grown, Mercy Hospital of Folsom has experienced a dramatic increase in demand for services. In response to this growth, the hospital has added a fourth operating room; expanded its Family Birth Center to include two new labor, delivery and recovery rooms, a 10-bed maternal newborn unit, and a new 10-bed newborn nursery; and is in the midst of expanding its rehabilitation and occupational medicine programs.

During the same timeframe, Mercy Hospital of Folsom experienced a 51% increase in Emergency Department volume. In 2003, the hospital's leadership team began the process of planning an Emergency Department (ED) expansion. This will be the first major expansion to the hospital since its move to Creekside Drive. Plans include increasing the number of ED beds from seven to 25, to meet the needs of the community well into the future. This five-fold expansion of Emergency Deparment space (from 4,620 square feet to 22,410) will result in significant increases in treatment and waiting areas. The planned expansion will also include shell space on the lower level to accommodate future additions to the hospital. When the Emergency Department is completed in 2006, it will set a new standard for excellence in healthcare in the community.
