Hospice of Mercy patients receive comfort, companionship and unconditional love from our incredible volunteer pet therapy team.

These gentle visits bring light and connection in some of life’s most tender moments. A quiet cuddle with one of our therapy dogs often says what words cannot express. This care means the world to our patients and their families.

Thank you to our amazing therapy animals and their compassionate handlers who give so selflessly. Your presence brings peace, joy and healing in a way only animals can.

Interested in joining our Hospice of Mercy volunteer team? Hospice Volunteer Coordinator, Betsy, would love to hear from you! Learn more and apply at https://www.mercycare.org/services/hospice/volunteer-program/ or contact Betsy at (319) 398-6628.

Mercy volunteer Alice may have talked more than she played piano today as staff, visitors and other well-wishers stopped by to thank her for her many years of service.

Alice is retiring from her volunteer position today, and she’s also celebrating her 96th birthday! She’s been a beloved fixture at Mercy for 35 years, playing all her music from memory.

Thank you for sharing your musical Mercy Touch with so many people, Alice. We will miss you!

The Hall-Perrine Cancer Center’s research and medical oncology team participated in a national clinical trial that evaluated side effects for patients receiving immune-based therapy for their cancer. Our site had the second largest patient enrollment in the nation. Dr. Nabi was recognized as a key contributor to this trial.
Data from the study was presented at the annual American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) conference in June 2025. This nationwide study may lead to improved, proactive treatment for side effects of immune-based therapy for patients across the country. Thank you to our patients for participating in this trial to make the fight against cancer more comfortable.

Congratulations to the Healing Center's Tara, RN, BSN, CWON, who recently received a Mercy Touch Award!

"She constantly goes above and beyond in her role as a wound care nurse to not only ensure the best patient care, but to also help ease patient anxiety and frustrations, as well as be an integral part of the healthcare team," her nominator wrote.

The nominator went on to describe a particular situation.

"Tara basically bent over backwards at the end of the day to work this patient into her schedule and ensure [the patient] was receiving the best care and provided The Mercy Touch to ease [the patient's] anxiety and frustration," her nomiator wrote. "Without hesitation, she gladly worked her schedule to get [the patient] into the wound clinic ... Without Tara, I don't know what we would have done in this situation ... Tara is literally an angel on Earth, and we appreciate everything she does!"

Thank you, Tara, for selflessly providing the care this patient needed during a challenging time for them. We are grateful for you!
