FISCAL YEAR 2025
ANNUAL REPORT

Record-Breaking Impact.
Life-Changing Stories.

Dear Friends of Mercy,

This past year, you helped make history. Fiscal year 2025 was Mercy Health Foundation’s most successful fundraising year to date, and we have YOU to thank. Your generosity touched more lives than ever before.

From life-saving equipment and groundbreaking treatments to compassionate care that brings comfort in moments of need, your generosity is at the heart of every story we share. The impact of your giving is felt in your own community and echoed across all the communities Mercy serves. 

While this year’s Annual Report offers a broader view of what we accomplish together across our ministry, one thing will never change: every dollar you give stays local, and your gifts will be directed to the programs and services with great needs. That’s what makes your support so extraordinary. You’re meeting urgent needs right where you live, while also joining alongside a community of people with a shared goal: to ensure that compassionate, high quality health care is accessible to all those we serve.

Inside the report, you’ll find stories of neighbors cared for, patients whose lives were transformed and innovations made possible because of your kindness. You’ll see the hope you inspired in action.

Thank you for believing in Mercy’s mission and for choosing to make a difference. You’ve given comfort, healing and hope when and where it’s needed most.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Steve Mackin, President and CEO
