Health and housing in Savannah.
St. Joseph's/Candler, a two-hospital system in Savannah, GA, and Mercy Housing East (MHE), Atlanta, a regional subsidiary of the Denver organization, collaborate on housing projects in southeastern Georgia. In Savannah, the partners transformed two local landmarks, a former hospital and a former school, into an 88-apartment development for low-income, predominantly African-American residents. St. Joseph's/Candler also provides health services to the community. As a result of their work, MHE and St. Joseph's/Candler have helped restore a historic city neighborhood. In Pembroke, GA, MHE (with support from St. Joseph's/Candler) has constructed a two-story, 30-unit, independent-living apartment development for senior citizens. Last year, St. Joseph's/Candler opened a health care facility in Pembroke.
