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 $3 million — and together, we allocated over $47 million 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.

Laurice Hachem Roberts, a dedicated member of Mercy Health Foundation’s Board of Directors, brings both passion and purpose to her work — especially when it comes to health care. Her commitment to neurosurgery is personal and profound, shaped by the loss of her beloved husband Sam to Lewy body dementia. Laurice and her daughter, Mechelle Meredith-Ehardt, are long-standing members of Women with a Mission.
Recently, Laurice’s mother, Nouha Ellis, experienced a concerning episode. Given her mother’s advanced age, Laurice wanted to avoid the stress of a long emergency room wait. She reached out to her Mercy primary care provider’s office for help.
The care team at Dr. Johnson’s office quickly gathered the necessary details and arranged for an appointment with a nurse practitioner at a nearby Mercy Clinic. Thanks to their responsiveness and compassion, Laurice’s mother was able to avoid the ER, and received prompt care when she needed it most.
“The entire staff was welcoming, attentive and truly thoughtful with my mom,” Laurice shared. “They immediately recognized her hearing challenges and made sure to speak directly to her, clearly and respectfully. It meant the world to us.”
Nouha recently celebrated her 100th birthday and Laurice is grateful to Mercy for providing access to high quality care so close to home. “I’m incredibly thankful for this clinic and the outstanding medical providers who serve our community with such dedication and heart.”
