We want to provide a huge thank you to Cherry's Propane Service who recently donated $2,600 to the Little Miracle Fund for Mercy Health - St. Rita’s #cancerservices. The Little Miracle Fund helps St. Rita’s #cancerpatients who are struggling financially. Patients can qualify for up to a $300 grant to help with practical needs, such as food or the cost of fuel for transportation to and from treatment.
The fund was created to give small miracles, which can make a big difference in the lives of those in need. Our goal is to continue to make these small miracles happen in our community.

Sometimes you have to bring a little bit of fun to the workplace! Recently, one of our MRI techs at Mercy Health - West Hospital entered the @warm985 Workday Warmup contest and won. We want to thank this station for choosing our hospital to host the warm up and providing a wonderful lunch for our staff members! #community #teambuilding

Water activities are fun and healthy during the summertime, but they can be dangerous if precautions aren't taken. Here are steps you can take to keep everyone safe in the water. 🌊 Wear a life jacket in the ocean, a lake, on a boat, or while canoeing or kayaking, especially for young children. Even the strongest swimmers can find themselves in unsafe water conditions. 🌊 If you or your kids don’t know how to swim, sign up for lessons and learn. 🌊 Never swim after using drugs or alcohol as they can impair your senses and increase your risk of drowning. 🌊 Learn how to react in a water-related emergency. Become certified in CPR and rescue breathing.
