A big "thank you" to the Cedar Hills Elks Lodge #2678 from the team!

The Elks generously presented Mercy Health Foundation Jefferson with a $2,000 donation which will directly support Mercy Birthplace - Jefferson by providing essential equipment, materials and supplies needed to care for infants born with drug dependencies — both during their hospital stay and as they transition home with their families.

Great work by the Elks and everyone who supported their series of community-driven events, including their annual Battle of the Bands, two bike rides, local sponsorships, T-shirt sales and other fundraising activities.

More time with patients, less time buried in paperwork. Thanks to AI, Mercy is changing the way doctors work. This shift caught the attention of KLAS Research, earning Mercy a spot among just four U.S. health systems to win the 2025 KLAS Arch Collaborative EHR Breakthrough Recognition. It’s proof that when doctors are happier, patients are, too!

Before she worked in Mercy Pediatrics, Pat Ameis was known for something special — delivering more than just meals.

She brought patients handmade signs with uplifting messages, always paired with a kind word and a smile. Those small moments left a big mark. People still remember the signs they got from Pat during their hardest days.

Now, she brings that same comfort to kids and families in our pediatric unit.

When you support the Mercy Health Foundation, you're helping caregivers like Pat bring hope in ways that go far beyond medicine.

These new Mercy leaders in Oklahoma City and Logan County just finished what we call Formation training — a half-day experience that helps them explore the foundation of what makes Mercy different.

Mercy joins the world in mourning the passing of Pope Francis, a humble servant leader and courageous voice for justice, whose compassion for others knew no bounds. He reminded us that the virtue of mercy is not passive - but rather a call to action - showing up for those who are overlooked, bringing hope to those who struggle and walking alongside people who are often forgotten.

We hold Pope Francis in our prayers: Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace.

As Pope Francis taught us, “Let us treat others with the same passion and compassion with which we want to be treated.” May we carry forward his legacy!
