Sports injuries unfortunately happen. Luckily for high school athlete Mackenzie Bickett, the team at Mercy Health – Wellington Orthopedic & Sports Medicine was there to guide her through an #ACLinjury to her right knee in 2015 as well as her left knee in 2017. This holiday season, Mackenzie is thankful to be active again and for being able to overcome the odds.
.
“The fact that Mackenzie was able to return to sports and at such a high level speaks volumes to the type of person and athlete she is,” says @dr.amelia.wiggins who performed Mackenzie's surgery. “It also speaks to the services offered through Mercy Health – Wellington Orthopedic & Sports Medicine. A successful recovery is not just about the surgery, it is about the whole journey. Pre-hab, PT, GAP, and behavioral health services help our athletes with the physical and mental aspects of recovery. This helps patients overcome the fear that may prevent them from getting back to doing what they love.”

It's #NationalVolunteerDay and we're feeling inspired this holiday season by one volunteer from St. Elizabeth Youngstown.
.
When a family goes through a tough time or a hardship, they can find a little bit of comfort at our hospitals from our kind volunteers, like Rebecca who has been comforting patients and their families for 10 years by serving up smiles and coffee. Rebecca was once one of these family members when her son, Bruce, suddenly passed away in 2012. The reminder has caused her to reevaluate her hospital role at times. However, after momentarily taking a step back, Rebecca always returns to volunteering. She says she can’t imagine not going back.
.
“It makes a huge difference in people’s lives, coffee is a comfort,” Rebecca says. “I do this because I love comforting people.”

Mercy Health Irvine and Powell County Primary Care Clinics were named 2019 Million Hearts Hypertension Control Champions by the @cdcgov! These two primary care clinics were the only ones in KY to earn this national honor. The Million Hearts Hypertension Control Challenge is a competition to identify practices, clinicians, and health systems that have worked with their patients to achieve hypertension control rates of at least 80%.
.
“I am so proud of the hard work of the associates and clinicians in our primary care clinics. They are dedicated professionals who provide quality and compassionate care for our patients,” said Marcum and Wallace Hospital President Trena Stocker. “This recognition is much-deserved and the blood pressure treatments and protocols that have been implemented are saving lives in our community.”
.
Help us congratulate our Marcum and Wallace team!

Temple Christian School in Lima, OH presented the Mercy Health Foundation with a gift to support the Sherry Halker Pink Ribbon Warrior Fund. Students raised funds by hosting a pink dress down day. This fund assists women who are uninsured or under-served and need financial assistance with mammograms and breast ultrasounds. We appreciate the support and generous gift from these students and teachers that will go toward a great cause for early breast cancer detection. Thank you!

Some high school seniors from Kalida Local Schools' Biomed class had a chance to tour Mercy Health St. Rita's Medical Center in Lima, OH because of their interest in the healthcare field. They were able to check out the pharmacy, visit with our campus police command center, see the ER and some other units. They also ran into Dr. Patel in the Cath lab and had the chance to chat with him. Thanks for stopping by and letting us show you around!
