Giving a Family Hope |
 |
Mary Plansky, Provena Mercy Medical Center
I have a relative who speaks highly of Provena Mercy. She is 90 years old and
continues to tell the following story:
When I was a little girl my mother was very sick. She ended up staying at
Mercy for a long time. My father struggled to take care of me and my brother.
Finances were very tight. My father paid as much of the bill as he could. There
was a balance that he couldn’t pay. He ended up calling and talking to one of
the Sisters of Mercy who told him, “don’t worry about the bill.”
When she tells me the story, it truly reflects that Provena Mercy Medical
Center was and continues to be a Catholic health system whose mission is to
build communities of healing and hope by compassionately responding to human
need in the spirit of Jesus Christ. That one conversation truly gave that family
hope.
