These bags, filled with school supplies and snacks, will support kids receiving care on the mobile unit, a doctor’s office on wheels that provides free preventive health care to children who are uninsured, underinsured, or covered by Medicaid or state care.

The Ronald McDonald Care Mobile offers services like immunizations, screenings, physicals, and well-child exams, all delivered by a Mercyhealth family nurse practitioner.

Congratulations to the Mercyhealth Arrhythmia Center team at Mercyhealth Hospital and Trauma Center–Janesville and Javon Bea Hospital–Riverside for completing 2,000 Carto™ Ablations! 💙

Carto ablation, also known as electroanatomic mapping, is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a specialized mapping system to treat heart rhythm disorders, also known as arrhythmias.

It involves creating a 3D map of the heart's electrical activity so doctors can locate the faulty tissue causing the arrhythmia, which is then destroyed using heat or cold energy to restore a normal heart rhythm.
