Mercy Health System Corporation

Charting here runs on Epic, and Freeport sits inside a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit system with seven hospitals and more than a hundred primary and specialty locations across northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin. A sign-on bonus is advertised for Freeport RNs, though the listing does not name the dollar amount. Base-pay cards we can point to are from nearby Mercyhealth sites in southern Wisconsin—roughly $34.45–$55.56 an hour for Med-Surg/Tele PRN in Lake Geneva and $39.58–$63.33 an hour for full-time Critical Care Transport in Janesville—not Freeport’s own posted scale. The system’s story runs back to a Janesville hospital founded in 1895 and a 2015 merger with Rockford Health System. Older quality markers remain on the public record, including a 2003 Wisconsin Governor’s Forward Award and a 2007 Baldrige application summary. Job-board cards in this market currently show the employer around 3.2 out of 5, which is worth holding next to a direct conversation with the unit you want.

Integrated not-for-profit health system serving southern Wisconsin and northeastern Illinois; long-running integrated-system vision described in its 2007 Baldrige application summary.
