This week, we proudly recognize and honor our incredible Certified Surgical Technologists (CSTs) — the skilled professionals who play a crucial role behind the scenes in the operating room. Their expertise, precision and dedication ensure every surgery runs smoothly and safely, making a profound difference in patient care.

Thank you to our CSTs for their unwavering commitment, teamwork and the compassion they bring to every procedure. Their hard work does not go unnoticed, and we are deeply grateful for all that they do to keep our patients safe and healthy.

Join us in celebrating these vital members of our surgical team! 💙

At Mercy’s recent Accommodation for Success event, we turned the tables with a reverse job fair that celebrated these unique strengths. The day also featured practical sessions on inclusive hiring and training, along with powerful first-hand stories from a lived-experience panel. We brought together workforce boards, disability support agencies and inclusive employers for a day of learning, connection and inspiration!

Getting screened for prostate cancer may not be comfortable — but it can save your life. 💙

Mercy caregiver Kim Henderson knows this firsthand. When her uncle's screening came back positive, her father and her other uncle got screened and came back positive, as well. All three got surgery and gained more precious years with the people they love.

Screenings aren’t just about you — they’re about your family, your friends and everyone who would love more time with you.

Do it for the ones you love. Get screened.

Hospitals are filled with moments of healing and hope, but sometimes those moments come from the community itself. A new family was surprised with an anonymous gift of baby essentials and words of encouragement, a simple gesture that made a lasting impact!

Born at just 22 weeks, Vivien's journey began with uncertainty and heartbreak after the loss of her twin brother. Through every scare and setback in the NICU, her parents never stopped pouring love and hope into her. Today, she's a charismatic 8-year-old with a story that inspires.

Vivien's mom, Stephanie, shares: "We weren’t just another patient, we could tell that everyone truly cared! We felt more like family by the care and love that was provided. We only have the doctors and nurses to thank for not giving up on her or us! She is now 8 years old with no physical deficits!"

Mercy unequivocally condemns all violence and violent rhetoric. Our prayers are with Charlie Kirk’s family and loved ones after today’s horrifying act of violence.

Tonight, we were made aware of unacceptable statements made by a social media user whose profile says she’s a nurse at Mercy. We reviewed our employee records and can confirm this person does not, and has never, worked at Mercy. Mercy would never tolerate any employees celebrating violence, which would be a clear violation of not only our employee policies but also our mission as a healing ministry of Jesus.

This week, we had the privilege of celebrating a milestone that will shape health care in Oklahoma for years to come. Thanks to a new gift of nearly $4 million from The Meinders Foundation, the late Herman Meinders is now Mercy’s largest individual donor in history.

Of this incredible contribution, $3 million will expand the Meinders Center for Movement Disorders, and $700,000 will bring advanced, minimally invasive technology for lung biopsies to our patients.

Friends, family and Mercy caregivers gathered to honor this legacy, including the namesakes for the new Robert H. Meinders and Linda Meinders Drumm Neurology Clinic, which is on the third floor of the Meinders NeuroScience Institute.

Since 2018, Herman and LaDonna Meinders - who both passed away in the past year - have given more than $24 million. Their generosity leaves a legacy of hope and healing across Oklahoma.

Today, Mercy honored Berryville emergency department nurse Josh Arnold for not only his excellence in nursing, but also his extraordinary courage, compassion and selflessness. He represents “the very essence of nursing — not just as a caregiver, but as a protector, an advocate and a guardian of life.”

Recognized with the Living Our Values Award, Josh received a lantern as a shining example of Mercy values.

“We should be shining lamps, giving light to all around us.” – Mercy foundress Catherine McAuley

With more than 30 teams and numerous community spectators, the event raised over $22,000 to support local health care needs.
