I give and serve on the board because I am overwhelmed by all that our associates do to make medical care accessible and as comfortable as possible for our communities, especially for those who struggle financially. I am humbled by the generous support of so many donors. I am a “loud and proud” Bon Secours Mercy Health cheerleader.
