MIAMI, Aug. 18, 2025 — HCA Florida Mercy Hospital will host its 75th Anniversary Mercy Mass on Wednesday, September 24, 2025, in honor of the Feast of Our Lady of Mercy, the hospital’s patroness. This year’s Diamond Jubilee Celebration will be held outdoors, bayside at HCA Florida Mercy Hospital, returning to its traditional setting after several years indoors due to COVID precautions.
