National AmeriCorps Week was a time to recognize the impact of service and celebrate the dedication of those who make a difference every day.

The Mercy Serves AmeriCorps team embraced the week by coming together in service, appreciation and team connection. We kicked things off by assembling over 700 hygiene kits for elementary and middle school students, helping ensure they have essential resources to succeed.

Throughout the week, we also joined fellow Cincinnati AmeriCorps programs for a day of service and celebration at the Cincinnati Zoo, shared our gratitude with emergency department staff by delivering sweet treats, and wrapped up the week with a fun and engaging team-building experience at Gameshow Battle Rooms.

It was a meaningful week filled with service, community and connection. We are proud of the impact our members continue to make — not just during National AmeriCorps Week, but all year long. 💙

Please join us in congratulating our cardiovascular team at Mercy Health — Springfield Regional Medical Center!

Springfield Regional Medical Center has been named one of Modern Healthcare’s 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals®, placing it among the nation’s highest-performing heart programs. The recognition comes from Premier Inc.’s annual, data-driven evaluation of nearly 1,000 U.S. hospitals using publicly reported measures of quality, safety, cost and patient experience.

“This accomplishment has directly contributed to better patient outcomes, evidenced by fewer readmissions and complications, and reflects the hospital’s strong commitment to excellence and patient-centered care," shares Bashir Rawas, director of cardiovascular services at Springfield Regional Medical Center.

According to the national analysis, Springfield Regional Medical Center consistently delivers outcomes that match or exceed those of the best cardiovascular programs in the U.S. At a high level, the medical center demonstrated:
• Stronger heart attack and heart failure survival rates than peer hospitals
• Fewer complications for patients undergoing bypass surgery (CABG) and angioplasty (PCI)
• Shorter hospital stays, helping patients recover faster and return home sooner
• Higher patient experience ratings, including stronger overall satisfaction scores

“This prestigious recognition is a testament to the dedication of our outstanding physicians and team members across the cardiovascular service line,” shares Dr. M. Salman Ashraf, chief of cardiology at Springfield Regional Medical Center. “We are proud to provide leading cardiovascular care right here in Springfield, as a Top 50 Cardiovascular Hospital and a Top 10 Cardiovascular Community Hospital.”

Our cardiovascular program is a regional destination for comprehensive heart care, offering services from emergency cardiac intervention and advanced imaging to open heart surgery, electrophysiology, cardiac rehabilitation and long-term disease management.

"At Mercy Health — Springfield, our cardiologists, vascular surgeons and cardiovascular surgeons work collaboratively to provide seamless, patient-centered care, whether you’re seeking preventive care or specialized treatment," Bashir says.

We are grateful for our team's commitment to excellence and dedication to providing compassionate, quality care to our patients and the community.

We are beyond proud to celebrate the incredible impact of our Mercy Serves AmeriCorps members!

Through the LeaderCorps program with ServeOhio, members have the opportunity to grow as leaders while making a meaningful difference in their communities. This year, we are thrilled to recognize our two LeaderCorps participants, Megan Hall and Virginia Ahrens, for their outstanding service project.

Megan and Virginia organized a community-wide effort to create hygiene kits for students in need. By coordinating donation drives at Mercy Health — Clermont Hospital in Batavia, Mercy Health — Springfield Regional Medical Center in Springfield, and our home office in Cincinnati — as well as placing donation bins throughout the community at locations like the YMCA and local churches — they brought people together for a powerful cause.

Thanks to their dedication and leadership, more than 750 hygiene kits were assembled and donated to Kenwood Elementary in Springfield and Mt. Orab Middle School.

Their work is a true reflection of service, compassion and community collaboration. We are incredibly proud of Megan and Virginia for making such a meaningful impact and for helping ensure students have the resources they need to thrive. 💙

Dr. Morman took over the role of chief clinical officer in 2022 after practicing family medicine at Mercy Health — Family Physicians of Springfield since 1997.

The staff at MercyCrest Gastroenterology, an outpatient department of Mercy Health — Springfield Regional Medical Center, recently enjoyed the St. Patrick's Day spirit and what better time than now to spotlight Dr. Ahmed Edhi, a gastroenterologist at MercyCrest Gastroenterology.

Dr. Edhi is credited with bringing endoscopic ultrasound to Springfield when he started with Mercy Health in 2022, and he has completed 5,250 procedures with Mercy Health since then.

Endoscopies can be important screening tools to help identify cancerous masses and other diseases in the digestive tract.

In 2024, he performed his 100th endoscopic ultrasound, and since then, he has continued to expand this service for our patients.

He is the only provider in the area to offer this service close to home, so our patients do not have to travel to Columbus or Dayton.

Dr. Edhi is also experienced with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), a procedure that combines upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and x-rays to treat problems of the bile and pancreatic ducts.

Most importantly, Dr. Edhi receives great reviews from our patients on their experience and is known for being caring and accommodating. He has a great partnership with his office staff and makes the office a collaborative environment.

He earned Physician of the Year in 2024 and currently leads the team as medical director for Mercy Health — Springfield's gastroenterology team and the outpatient center.

As a Springfield resident, he cares about our community and offers various educational talks throughout the year at senior centers and the CoHatch. We love him for both his spirit and his skill set. He is truly a shining example of everything a physician should be!

MercyCrest Gastroenterology is located at 30 West McCreight Avenue, Suite 211, in Springfield.

In the face of a health emergency, Stevie Bingham shares her story of caregiver burnout, alcohol abuse and her appreciation for the team at Mercy Health — Springfield.

“I was the primary caregiver for a family member and was experiencing caregiver burnout and coping in the most negative way, by drinking heavily,” Stevie says.

That’s when Stevie’s partner noticed her breathing was off and rushed her to the Mercy Health — Dayton Springfield Emergency Center. Stevie was a newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic on medications, but was not able to maintain a regular blood sugar because of her alcohol abuse.

“I actually walked right in, thinking nothing was really that bad,” she shares. “But my blood sugar was at 802, and my blood pH was at 5.7. I was airlifted to Mercy Health — Springfield Regional Medical Center's intensive care unit.”

At the hospital, Stevie was intubated and in a coma for a fear-filled six days.

“My partner then let them know that I was in fact a heavy drinker,” Stevie says. “Immediately, they changed the medications for alcohol withdrawal, and I woke up and was able to breathe on my own just a few days later.”

Today, Stevie is sober and grateful for the care team at Mercy Health — Springfield.

“Addiction to alcohol is such a cunning and baffling thing,” she says. “I have a chance at life, and I am extremely grateful for the work of all the fast-acting nurses, techs and doctors who saved my life.”

"I do want to recognize one ICU nurse in particular," Stevie adds, "Nurse Emily gave me my first drink of water when I came off the vent and told me, 'It's like Christmas morning, huh?' Those words will never leave me. She even came to visit me when they moved me to the step-down unit. She stayed in contact with my partner every day that I was on the vent and made sure my care was the best. Though I may have just been another patient, she really made a huge difference in my life and without her care, I wouldn't be here today."
