Mercy Health Foundation Ardmore provides philanthropic support for Mercy Hospital Ardmore. The Foundation’s goal is to help make an impact in our community by working with the hospital to improve quality of life and make health care accessible for all. Donations to the Foundation help the hospital provide exceptional health care to the residents of Ardmore, OK and the counties of Carter, Jefferson, Johnston, Love, Marshall and Murray. Mercy also has a critical access hospital in Healdton, OK.
Mercy Health Foundation Ardmore is a nonprofit organization. We are dependent on the donations and support of generous foundations, corporations and caring individuals like you. Your gifts to Mercy Health Foundation Ardmore help enhance patient programs, fund life-saving equipment and capital projects and provide charity care programs and services for those who need it most.
When you donate to Mercy Health Foundation, you help fund critical projects in our community. That’s right. Every dollar you give advances health care right here at home.
Access and Assistance
Patients in and around Ardmore should be able to access health care services conveniently and confidently. Mercy Health Foundation Ardmore benefits telemedicine programs that leverage technology to remove geographic barriers and allow rural patients to see specialists without leaving their community. Other priorities include behavioral health and supporting patients in crisis with needs beyond standard medical.
Innovative Care
Through our 3D imaging project, patients at Mercy Ardmore are receiving the most advanced technologies to provide quick and accurate care. Through improvements in diagnostic ultrasound, mammography, nuclear medicine and radiation therapy, our patients do not have to travel elsewhere to receive the most advanced and innovative care.
Women’s and Children’s Services
Catherine McAuley, Mercy’s founder, had a particular concern for the poor. Even more specifically, she worked to assist women and children in need. Mercy Health Foundation Ardmore continues Catherine’s legacy by supplementing program and equipment needs for Ardmore’s labor and delivery unit, which ensures quality care for our community’s littlest and most fragile patients.
Because of your generosity, our Foundation continues to make a lasting difference for Mercy’s patients, programs and services. In FY25, you helped us raise more than $600,000 — and together, we allocated nearly $400,000 to improve the health of our community. This impact was made possible not only through this year’s gifts, but also through the strength of prior-year reserves and investment income. Thanks to you, we were ready to meet urgent needs with care and compassion.
Every year, lives are changed because donors like you stepped forward to give. This snapshot illustrates some of Mercy’s most critical fundraising initiatives that will benefit not only our patients and their families, but also our caregivers and our community.
At 28 members and growing, our newly formed Women with a Mission chapter is dedicated to improving health care in our community
Nearly $23,000 was allocated by Women with a Mission to purchase six new bassinets for Labor & Delivery
Over $250,000 was raised to help fund the Outpatient Renewal and Redesign project, which includes new waiting areas, chapel, coffee bar, gift shop and more
Ardmore’s first annual Women with a Mission allocation meeting took place at the hospital on Wednesday, May 7th. Members were treated to lunch and a presentation by hospital President Daryle Voss.
Membership dues from the program’s inaugural year raised $22,815 to be used to purchase essential equipment for the hospital. Members were presented with three options, and the majority chose to allocate the funds to the purchase of five neonatal carts for the labor and delivery department. At the end of the presentation, member Regina Turrentine was deeply moved by the project and generously agreed to purchase an additional cart in memory of her late husband, Dr. James Turrentine. These carts will benefit many newborns and families in Southern Oklahoma. Following a successful first year, a re-launch brunch was scheduled, to attract even more members to this thriving program for the Foundation.
Striving to continue the legacy of Catherine McAuley, Women with a Mission giving society combines resources, vision and passion for helping others to support and improve health care in our communities.
