It’s time to play ball! ⚾️
Mercy Health and MetroHealth came together to host first responders appreciation night at the local ball game in Lorain, OH. First responders from the community were invited to cheer on the Lake Erie Crushers as they took the field against the Windy City Thunderbolts! Dr. Barkley and Stomper joined in the fun and youngsters were brought to the field to “stop, drop and roll.” Mercy Health and MetroHealth are proud to have partnered to bring Lorain County its first Level III Trauma Center. Thank you to all of our first responders for all you do!!

Mercy Health - Lourdes Hospital got to be a part of something important for student athletes - the donation of Guardian Caps to Paducah City Schools. The district is now the region’s first with this protective gear! Guardian Caps, pictured above, are padded, soft-shell covers that fit over the helmet. They are currently utilized by more than 100 colleges and 1,000 high schools to reduce impact during collisions in football. 🏈FOOTBALL FACT: Studies have demonstrated the soft-shell technology added to the outside of a hard-shell football helmet can reduce impact forces by up to 33 percent. Mercy Health's donation will provide nearly 300 of the protective caps for the school system’s student athletes to protect against the effects of repetitive impact on the playing field.
