Ensure great specialized care for women of all ages
Women have unique health care needs
Your giving supports a range of specialized health services for every stage of a woman's life
An illness or medical condition can affect women differently than men. And women have their own health needs that require special screenings or medical care like prenatal and obstetrics. Support from our donors helps Mercy Health provide a comprehensive lineup of services for women in Clark and Champaign Counties.
Donations make a difference in providing educational programs, medical equipment, labor and delivery enhancements, 3D mobile mammography technology and many other investments that ensure the best health care for women right here in our community. You can even direct your gift to benefit a particular program like one of the options below.
Women's Health Initiatives
Donations to our Foundation for Women's Health initiatives make funding readily available to grow, enhance and update Mercy Health's services tailored to women's needs. When a need or opportunity is identified, donations to this fund are put to good use for things like:
- New Birthing Center equipment
- Outreach and education for pregnant women
- Patient support and education for women having breast reconstruction surgery following mastectomy
- Outreach and education related to women’s health

Mobile Mammography
Women are busy. Finding the time, or even lack of insurance or transportation can prevent them from getting an annual mammogram. Donations to the Foundation keep Mercy Health's mobile mammography coach on the road and in neighborhoods across the area, where people can conveniently walk in or make an appointment.
The latest 3D mammogram technology helps detect cancer in its earliest stages, when most treatable. And patients can receive results quickly. When you give, you ensure funds are available to:
- Cover the cost of life-saving screenings for women with no or inadequate health insurance
- Provide ongoing maintenance for the mammography coach
- Support mobile mammography community events
Support Early Detection
Mobile mammography gives people a fighting chance against breast cancer
Maternal Fetal Medicine Program
Women with a high-risk pregnancy can get specialized medical care right here in Springfield. The program, funded through donations to the Foundation, works alongside the patient's primary OB/GYN physician to provide personalized care for their unique risk factors. Through Mercy Health's partnership with The Ohio State University, the program can support expectant mothers facing risk factors like:
- Pregancy with more than one fetus
- Diabetes
- High blood pressure
- Genetic conditions
- History of premature births
- Advanced maternal age
- Other conditions that require high-risk care for mom or baby
Your donation for the Maternal Fetal Medicine program also provides funding for further testing and in-depth ultrasounds for women in our community so more babies are born strong and healthy.
