A big "thank you" to the Cedar Hills Elks Lodge #2678 from the team!

The Elks generously presented Mercy Health Foundation Jefferson with a $2,000 donation which will directly support Mercy Birthplace - Jefferson by providing essential equipment, materials and supplies needed to care for infants born with drug dependencies — both during their hospital stay and as they transition home with their families.

Great work by the Elks and everyone who supported their series of community-driven events, including their annual Battle of the Bands, two bike rides, local sponsorships, T-shirt sales and other fundraising activities.

Next time you see our Mercy Sports Medicine team at a local game or practice, they'll be riding in style!

We just got 12 new all-electric golf carts thanks to the Mercy Health Foundation, and they showed up just in time.

Our old golf carts were pushing 12 years, and their complicated battery system was not exactly easy to maintain. Now, our new carts make it easier for our team to get to players quickly and triage any injuries they might have.

Thank you to our Mercy Health Foundation for funding these crucial new carts, and stay tuned. We'll be sharing some of the new features on these little medical buggies soon.

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.
