"To anyone who can hear this, proceed to Mercy Hospital for evacuation! I repeat, proceed to Mercy Hospital for evacuation!"

Mercy Hospital is a large, thirty-floor hospital located in the city of Fairfield. The address of this hospital is 444 South 42nd Street (as seen on the CEDA posters) and has a 215 area code. It is the main objective of the Survivors in the campaign, No Mercy in Left 4 Dead.

History
This hospital is one of the main medical centers in the entire city of Fairfield. Because of its large capacity of patients and laboratories, it is one of the city's largest and tallest buildings that over looks the city. The hospital has an Emergency Department where ambulances can transport people in desperate need of medical attention.
 * The first floor is part of the Emergency Department and therefore has several examination rooms where patients would be examined by doctors and nurses
 * The second floor has the hospital's cafeteria and kitchen
 * The third floor is mainly hospital administration as there are more offices and only a few patient rooms on this level
 * The fourth floor is the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and is equipped with laboratories, multiple patient rooms, and isolation rooms to prevent diseases from spreading to other hospital patients and staff
 * The twenty-eighth and twenty-ninth floors are newly added (or under renovation) to the hosipital and are undergoing construction
 * The rooftop (thirtieth floor) is equipped with several AC units, landing and search lights, electrical and mechanical machinery rooms, and a medical heli-pad where patients can be transported by helicopter to and from Mercy Hospital

Current Status
The hospital appears to be one of the first places to have handled the Infected. This can be said by looking at the containment efforts (isolation rooms) near the elevator, which are the rooms with biohazard signs outside them. On these signs, Mercy and CEDA staff have marked the virus as "N/A", meaning they had no idea what the virus was and did what they could to separate the infected from the public. With having no idea of what the Green Flu virus was, the contagious disease spread to the hospital staff and all of its patients and soon the entire city. CEDA declared a state of emergency calling for the entire city to be evacuated to try and control the spread of the disease. However, with one of Fairfield's main medical centers overrun with Infected, CEDA pulled out and abandoned the evac site leaving the city defenseless against the infection. The Survivors must fight through the hospital to get to the roof, and then defend their position on the roof until News Chopper 5 comes and rescues them.
