Mercy Health

We appreciate the incredibly generous offers from individuals and organizations looking to donate supplies to us in support of our COVID-19 response efforts. Head to the link in our bio to see how you can help. Thank you for the outpouring of support for our frontline teams during this time.

We commit to caring for all people in need, regardless of their ability to pay. We are not collecting upfront payments related to the treatment of COVID-19 and are holding COVID-19 related patient statements and billing. Learn more at mercy.com.

We just launched a new COVID-19 Virtual Assistant to help you navigate all your COVID-19 questions! We’ll guide you through the process of assessing your risk, and getting to the right clinician or phone number based on your needs. You can use the tool on our website, mercy.com or learn more about it in the link in our bio.

Mercy Health is proud to partner with our sister organization, @BonSecours, to offer free video visits to those experiencing COVID-19 symptoms or who may have been exposed to someone diagnosed with COVID-19. Visit mercy.com for more details and to get the promo code.

Our nation is in a state of desperation and panic. Our health care systems, first responders, and front line staff are spending tireless hours away from their families, exposing themselves to risk, and putting the lives of others before their own, as they always do. But this time, it’s different. This time, it’s urgent. This time, it’s critical – for all of us.
As a Catholic health care ministry, our faith informs our commitment to compassion, community and doing the right thing. Today, that innate and fundamental commitment is being compounded by not only the worried faces of patients, or the desperate cries of family and friends, or the fear of what the future looks like, but also by the math. It is raw mathematics showing the exponential and rapid growth of this disease that on its own tells us – we must all put our personal desires and convenience aside and do the right thing for the health, safety and prosperity of our country, our people and people across the globe.
This sounds straightforward. It seems easy. Many of you are at home wondering why others are not showing the same discipline and consideration for the health of humanity as you are. We applaud your commitment, but I want to ask you to double down today. We can also help prevent the spread of this disease by facilitating the spread of good information.
Tell them that each infected person can infect 2.5 more when they choose not to practice social distancing. And then those 2.5 can each infect 2.5 more. 1, 2, 4, 8 – you only have to double 20 times to pass 1 million. And 1 million only has to double for more times to pass 16 million.
