For Justin Dixon, supporting Mercy Health Foundation is an extension of a lifelong commitment to his community. As a four-term board member, current chair, regional bank president, and local business owner, Justin understands what it means to invest locally. He gives annually because he knows that a quality hospital close to home is something easy to take for granted until you need it.
