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.

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!
