Mercy Medical Center Hospice

Mercy Medical Center and Hospice are directed toward physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs. They focus on the quality of life and draw upon the expertise of physicians, clergy, nurses, counselors, social workers, home health aides, trained volunteers and therapists. Mercy Hospice services started in 1984 and they serve over 500 patients a year.

They make walker bags, hospital gowns, draw pads, bunnies, bears, memory pillows and  traditional pillows to donate to Hospice patients and their families. They make between 800-1000 items a year.

Donna Indovina shared. “Comfort care is at the heart of all we do. The philosophy of hospice is reflected through the beliefs that dying is part of living and that dying persons and their families have physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs as well as a right to make decisions related to the meeting of those needs.”
