Thanks to Mercy Health Foundation donor support, Mercy Health — Marcum and Wallace Hospital’s new portable X-ray machine makes a real difference for patients like Jeff, delivering comfort and immediate care when it matters most.

When Jeff Hix experienced intense abdominal pain and vomiting last June, he immediately feared the worst. Despite being in significant discomfort, he drove himself to the Mercy Health — Marcum and Wallace Hospital emergency department.

Because of donors’ generous gifts, Marcum and Wallace recently acquired a portable X-ray machine. Medical staff can take detailed images of a patient in their bed. For Jeff, that meant getting immediate imaging while still connected to IVs and monitoring equipment. Transporting him to an X-ray suite in his condition would have been a painful and risky process.

“They put in a tube through my nose to relieve the obstruction, but they had to make sure it was in the right spot,” he says. “That’s where a portable X-ray came in handy.”

Lord of time,
The end of a calendar year and the beginning of a new one is always an opportunity to reflect on where we have been and where we want to be going. We thank you for the gift of this past year. We thank you for the gift of time spent with family and friends, for the joy of laughter and for the opportunity to make a positive difference in the lives of others.

May our reflection on this past year open us to the gift of your wisdom, and may our anticipation of the year ahead strengthen us in the hope that we might grow closer to you. We offer this prayer in the name of the God who is the source of all that has been and all that will be. Amen.

This Christmas Eve, we reflect on this prayer as we prepare to celebrate Christmas.
God of life and peace,

The birth of your son Jesus in Bethlehem so long ago still brings joy and wonder to the hearts of lives of so many today. As we prepare to celebrate Christmas, give us hearts filled with gratitude for the gift of your son.

May your Holy Spirit inspire us that we might be faith-filled reflections of your presence and love for one another as Jesus is for us. May the voice of the angels that led the shepherds to Bethlehem remind us of our call to be the voice of so many ignored and marginalized in our world. May the star that moved the wise men to travel great distances to greet the savior guide us to those in need in our lives and communities. May Christ be born into our hearts and minds this Christmas that he might live in us on this holy day and throughout the year.

We pray with hearts overflowing with joy and gratitude. Amen.
