The stories of people who have directly benefitted from our donors' generosity represent just a few of many individuals who have received better health care close to home, thanks to donors like you.

Your gift to the Mercy Health Foundation Greater Lima can be directed to a specific program, facility or community outreach service for more direct impact, ensuring everyone in Allen County has access to the specialized medical care and resources they need. You can even make your gift in honor of a doctor, nurse or caregiver to express your gratitude, or in memory of a loved one who has passed.
