Lady of Mercy Hospital
The largest and most well-known hospital in Novandria. Though located on the temple grounds for the Cathedral of Light, it is jointly run by both the Church of Loreali and the Circle of Grace.
Purpose / Function
The Lady of Mercy hospital is always available to aide those in need. They have a dedicated emergency department, scheduled free clinics, floors of treatment rooms (for both out-patient and overnight stays), a maternity and birthing ward, surgical staff, as well as teaching and research.
The hospital provides both magical and mundane healing.
Architecture
One of the tallest buildings in the city, it's gleaming white stone, sweeping arches, and tall windows make it resemble a church more than a hospital.
History
First constructed in 1650, the hospital began as a small house adjacent to the cathedral in order to handle the increased population as Novadria grew. Over time, the hospital has continued to construct additions and floors as needed. Primary funding for these additions come directly from either the church or the healer's guild, however generous donations by the noble houses has allowed some projects that might otherwise be deemed too expensive to be completed, such as one of the first eletech elevators in the city being installed.
The hospital prides itself on being on the forefront of medical knowledge and technology, constantly researching and reviewing its processes and updating them to the most modern standard.
