Mercy in the community

Exemplifying the mission of Mercy, strong structures and processes support Mercy nurses to be active partners within the community. Employees are dedicated to support the community and in-turn community members are strong supporters of Mercy Medical Center. Mercy nurses care for the community with compassion and dignity. Each nursing unit participates in community outreach events. Annual outreach programs are sponsored by the nursing division including food drives, community-need collections such as toiletries for the homeless and diapers for low-income families. Mercy nurses are supported in their mission work around the world and are encouraged to apply for the Mercy Nursing Mission Sponsorship to help offset financial costs of participating in medical missions.
