MERCY BALL NEW LOCATION
With distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine now under way, the priority is to immunize frontline health care workers, public safety and essential workers, long-term nursing home residents and those over 65, as out-lined by the NYS Department of Health. Following this initial phase, which will require several weeks, the process will move to vaccinating all Long Islanders.
Together, we have faced a truly unprecedented time in history. The global coronavirus pandemic has affected all of our families, businesses, communities, and most sobering -our way of life. During this time, the Friends of Mercy have taken a very active role in supporting Mercy Medical Center during the COVID-19 crisis.
The Friends of Mercy recognized that there was an immediate need to assist and support Mercy’s health care workers during this pandemic with supplies and services. It was in response to this need for additional resources that the Friends of Mercy launched the Friends of Mercy COVID-19 Fund. The Friends raised over
$123,000 from the Friends Covid Fund. A significant portion of the funds were raised within a month and illustrate an overwhelming sense of community during this crisis. Mercy will take lessons from this first wave of the virus and apply them to the possibility of a second wave and continues to look to the Friends for support.
All proceeds will support the Women’s Imaging Center, a project that signifies a commitment to redefining the healthcare experience for women. The center’s aesthetics will be elevated, featuring an enclosed waiting room that will boast thoughtfully chosen décor, ensuring a soothing and pleasant environment for patients during a potentially angst driven time. Each examination room will be renovated offering new furnishings with a spa like atmosphere. Every corner has been meticulously designed to create a space that radiates peace, promoting a tranquil setting for our valued patients at Mercy Hospital.
In every successful healthcare journey, an exceptional patient experience is ensured by the collaboration of outstanding medical professionals and cutting-edge technology, both contributing to the highest standard of care.
We hold the belief that every woman coming to The Women’s Imaging Center should receive more than just medical care; she deserves an encounter that is hopeful and encouraging. A beautiful environment will contribute to a positive state of mind.
Every gift allows Mercy to reach out to their patients and communities to deliver the very best healthcare across Long Island.
