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.

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.

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.
