Your support is appreciated.
More than 130 Mercy employees were personally affected by the recent flood disaster. To show our support, the Mercy Foundation has established an "Employee Flood Relief Fund." This fund is intended to help with immediate assistance as well as long-term needs as employees begin to rebuild and recover from the 2008 Midwest flood crisis.
