On Tuesday, Mercy Health – St. Rita’s Medical Center’s celebrated its 100th year of serving our Lima, #Ohio and surrounding communities!

The height of the celebration was a mass with Bishop Daniel Thomas who reminded us that we are a ministry of comfort and care and that our Mission will continue to live on. Special guests of the night were the Sisters of Mercy, who opened our doors 100 years ago to help the poor and sick. As a special gift, we presented a live Christmas tree to be planted at Our Lady of the Pines, where the sisters live. On it were ornaments with messages of gratitude for our founding sisters.

It is an honor and we are proud to have served our patients for 100 years and look forward to continuing providing #compassion and heartfelt care for years to come.

Share #MomentsOfMercy with those in need in your community. To help low-income families put warm holiday meals on their tables, follow our #LocalSpotlight to the Freestore Foodbank, which provides 27 million meals to those going hungry in Cincinnati each year.

We and our friends at Youngstown State University, are excited to share that Wick Primary Care will open in 2019! The new primary care facility, located in the heart of Youngstown State University’s campus, will provide increased and convenient access to care for YSU students and faculty, including behavioral health services and integrated care through Mercy Health’s MyChart. We are proud to partner with the University in the delivery of high-quality, compassionate care throughout the Mahoning Valley. #mercyhealth #ysugram

Warm your neighbors' hearts with an act of kindness, such as collecting their trash bins from the curb, or shoveling their driveway if it's snowing. #MomentsOfMercy like these show compassion and generosity at a time when some people need it most.

Spread joy, not germs! Be sure to wash your hands regularly, cover your cough with your elbow instead of your hands, and avoid crowds if you’re contagious to help keep everyone healthy and happy this holiday season. #SpreadJoyNotGerms #HealthyHolidays

The holidays are here, and we enjoyed celebrating our annual 2018 Mercy Health - St. Rita's Holiday Street Fair with our Lima community. Santa Claus and his reindeer made a special appearance, and visited with children and their families. Families also enjoyed a day of fun, music, food, crafts and prizes, as well as the annual tree lighting.
Sponsored by Mercy Health - St. Rita’s Volunteer/Auxiliary, the #Holiday Street Fair is a holiday tradition to those in our community. Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate the season!
