Reaching Out to Our Communities
Mercy Research co-workers rose up to support our health ministry and communities during the pandemic. In addition to the virus-related studies highlighted in the Year in Review section, our co-workers contributed their time and talents in other ways. One research nurse organized staff to donate blood, and another worked at a COVID-19 screening location. Our faith-based values inspire us to respond to community needs in all forms.
Under the leadership of the Mercy Research Mission Committee, we continued to extend Mercy’s healing ministry to vulnerable individuals through community outreach and involvement in professional organizations.
