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.

🌷 Tulip Award Winner 🌷
Please help us congratulate Suzanne Davis, Mercy Lincoln patient access representative, for her standout work earning the Tulip Award recognition!

Suzanne was nominated by a patient’s family for her professionalism, compassion and calm presence during a particularly busy night in the ER.

The nomination read, in part, “She had a human touch while doing an almost impossible job... I felt safe and well cared for.”

Thank you, Suzanne, for showing what Mercy is all about — even in the busiest moments. 💜

Help us congratulate Alesse Miller, RN, from our Medical/Surgical inpatient unit, who is our May 2025 DAISY Foundation award winner!

Alesse was nominated by a patient who called her “one of the best nurses I’ve ever had.” Beyond being quick with care and attentive with medication, Alesse offered something even more powerful: compassion.

The patient shared:
“She took the time to listen while I vented. It made a huge difference. Being a nurse myself for 20 years, I look up to her and want to strive to be as good as she is at nursing. She raises the bar high.”

The DAISY Award is a national recognition honoring extraordinary nurses, and Alesse’s dedication, empathy and excellence truly shine.

Our Nursing Shared Governance Committee reviews nominations and selects recipients biannually. We’re proud to celebrate Alesse and all of our amazing nurses who make a difference every day!
