Meet Kari Taylor

As Executive Director of Lima's Mission of Hope, Kari Taylor knows what it means to serve others. That shared commitment to faith and service drew her to Mercy Health Foundation Greater Lima as a donor. She gives because she believes her gift reaches people who might not otherwise have access to care, and because she wants to be part of something meaningful.

Scott’s Story

At Mercy Health St. Rita's Medical Center, Chaplain Scott Long pushes a cart filled with treats, calming beverages and soothing music through clinical units each week. Fully funded by donors like you, the Tea for the Soul program gives associates a moment to pause, recharge and feel cared for in the middle of demanding days. Your gift makes that possible.

John’s Story

John Page is battling skin cancer and facing dozens of radiation therapy appointments at Mercy Health Allison Radiation Oncology. Without a car and on a fixed retirement income, getting there was a serious obstacle. Your gift supports Mercy Express, the van service that ensures John never has to miss the expert, compassionate care he depends on to recover.

Meet Ethan Moore

For Ethan Moore, supporting the Greatest Needs Fund is an investment in the future of rural health care. As a board member and monthly donor, he gives because local hospitals are lifelines for people who depend on them. A late night emergency showed him firsthand the kindness and compassion his gifts help make possible.

Betty’s Story

After the sudden loss of her husband, Betty Griffin's health declined rapidly. What began as routine physical therapy became something far more meaningful when your gift helped connect her to grief support, additional medical evaluation and collaborative care that ultimately saved her health, her independence and her sense of purpose.

Jena’s Story

Jena Combs' recovery was about more than overcoming addiction. It was about rediscovering confidence, reconnecting with family and finding purpose again. Your gift to the Journey Back Court Program gave her the encouragement and community she needed to not just become sober, but to truly live sober and eventually help others begin their own recovery journeys.

Five minutes at a mobile mammography screening event changed Kendra Strickland's life. Your gift supports Mercy Health's mobile mammography vans, bringing lifesaving screenings closer to home.
