We’d like to share an important update with our valued patients who have Humana Managed Medicaid or Medicare Advantage insurance coverage.

We’re in active negotiations with Humana and are committed to a fair resolution that ensures you and your family continue receiving the high-quality care you deserve. Your health is our priority, and we’re doing everything we can to maintain your in-network access to the Mercy Health facilities and caregivers you know and trust.

If an agreement isn't reached before December 1, 2025, Mercy Health will become out-of-network for Humana Managed Medicaid and Medicare Advantage plans. For details on how this may affect you and what actions you can take, please visit www.mercy.com/humana-updates.

We are so proud to share that we have been nationally recognized for our commitment to providing high-quality cardiovascular care. 💙

The American Heart Association has honored us with three Get With The Guidelines® achievement awards! This recognition reflects our team's dedication to following the most current, research-based guidelines for treating heart disease. By doing so, we are helping to save more lives, shorten recovery times, and reduce hospital readmissions for our patients.

Heart disease and stroke are the leading causes of death in the U.S., but we are working hard to improve outcomes in our community. The Get With The Guidelines program gives us the tools to align our patient care with the latest evidence-based guidelines.

Our President, Trena Stocker, shared her thoughts: “Get With The Guidelines programs make it easier for our teams to put proven knowledge and guidelines to work on a daily basis, which helps us ensure more people in Irvine and the surrounding communities experience longer, healthier lives.”

A big thank you to our incredible staff for their tireless efforts and to the American Heart Association for this recognition! We are proud to serve the Irvine community.

We’ve officially wrapped up our first-ever Called to Care: Teen Volunteer Program at Mercy Health — Marcum and Wallace Hospital!

Over the summer, 18 high school students explored careers in health care by volunteering more than 675 hours across multiple departments, from the emergency room and primary care to lab, imaging and more. Their commitment, compassion and curiosity remind us that the future of health care is in good hands.

“It was inspiring to see these students step into our hospital and truly embrace what it means to serve others with heart and purpose," shares Trena Stocker, president of Mercy Health — Marcum and Wallace Hospital.

Meghan Mills, director of community health, adds, “This program gave students real-world experience and gave us hope in the next generation of health care professionals.”

Thank you to our volunteers, staff and community for supporting this incredible first year. 💙

Empowering our community with vital resources and support! From Narcan training for overdose prevention to mental health and trauma-informed care education, we're committed to building stronger and healthier communities.

Mercy Health — Marcum and Wallace Hospital recently hosted a series of community outreach efforts within our Irvine and Powell County Primary Care Clinics. The goal was to reach community members where they are with life-saving tools, support and education.

The outreach included Narcan training and distribution to support overdose prevention efforts, mental health education and the opportunity for community members to sign up for evidence-based trainings: Mental Health First Aid (MHFA), Question, Persuade, Refer (QPR) suicide prevention and Trauma-Informed Care.

These valuable resources were made possible through the work of Matewood Gerald and Patrick Bailey, both certified community health workers (CCHW) and peer support specialists; Brett Benton, CCHW and chaplain; and Jerrica Brandenburg, licensed practical clinical counselor and certified alcohol and drug counselor.
Across both clinics, we provided mental health Narcan training to 13 individuals and distributed 18 Narcan kits. In addition, several sign-ups were received for adult and youth Mental Health First Aid, Trauma-Informed Care, and QPR suicide prevention training.

By continuing to meet people where they are, we remain committed to building a healthier, more supported community.

If you or someone you know is interested in receiving any of these trainings or would like more information on available resources and education, please contact Brayden Griggs at 606-726-8198 or BGriggs1@mercy.com.
