'''Werribee Mercy Hospital''', located in [[Werribee, Victoria]] on the [[Princes Highway]], about 25&nbsp;km west of [[Melbourne]], is a public general hospital providing a broad range of services which include [[surgical]], [[maternity]], [[obstetric]] care, orthopaedic, ENT, paediatric surgeries, GI oscopy, [[Kidney dialysis|dialysis]], [[medical emergency|emergency]], [[mental health]], aged and [[palliative]] care, allied health services and a 24-hour emergency department.  As part of the Werribee Mercy Mental Health Program the hospital offers a range of acute and community [[psychiatric]] services.

The hospital opened in January 1994 and has rapidly expanded to cope with the expanding population in Melbourne's fast-growing western suburbs. The hospital has nearly finished a $93 million expansion including 56 additional beds, six operating theatres and eight critical care beds, funded by the Victorian Government.

The hospital is administered by [http://www.mercyhealth.com.au Mercy Health], a Catholic not for profit organisation founded by the Sisters of Mercy.

The hospital was often depicted as the 'Mount Thomas Hospital' in the popular local police drama [[Blue Heelers#Filming locations|Blue Heelers]].
