Giving Garden
In addition to raising funds for Mercy Hospital, the Friends of Mercy support local community events and advocate for our underserved neighbors by providing food and awareness through specialty projects. Most recently the Friends provided bicycles for youth in the community, and helped address food insecurity via their “Giving Garden” that supplied fresh vegetables to families facing hunger in the community. They also sponsor health presentations with various topics aiming to bring general health and mental health awareness to the community.

Proceeds & Support
Proceeds 2024
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.
