It is home to the University of California, Merced and has recreational opportunities including Lake Yosemite, the Merced National Wildlife Refuge, and other parks and trails. The city is conveniently located along Highway 99, about an hour's drive from Fresno and Modesto, and less than two hours from larger cities like Sacramento and San Jose.

Mercy’s Family Birth Center provides a supportive and comfortable environment for mothers and their families during labor, delivery, and postpartum care. The center offers spacious private rooms with family- friendly amenities and advanced technology to ensure newborns stay close to their mothers while being monitored.

If both mother and baby are healthy, they can typically go home within one to two days after a natural birth. For babies needing advanced care, the Level II NICU, operated by Valley Children’s Hospital, provides specialized treatment close to home. Mercy Medical Center currently sees 2,352 annual deliveries and 1,854 triage visits.
