Mercy Joplin Replacement Hospital
Joplin, MO
In the wake of the major damages that the St. Johns Regional Medical Center in Joplin, Missouri obtained during an EF-5 tornado, McCarthy Building Companies contracted Emery Sapp & Sons for the mass grading, installation of site utilities, and paving for the new hospital that would promptly take its place. The Joplin Replacement Hospital is an addition to the growing list of successful projects that ESS has performed for Mercy Health Systems to help serve and drive opportunities in the Springfield and Joplin areas.
