Dear Friends of Mercy,As 2016 draws to an end, we reflect upon all those we were so incredibly blessed to serve at Mercy Hospital Ardmore this past year. Being a constant light in the community drawing in the sick, hurt or dying is a great challenge, but it is a challenge we willingly and lovingly embrace each and every day. Through your generosity to Mercy Health Foundation, you too play a significant role in bringing to life the healing ministry of Jesus in our community.

Thanks to your gifts this year, we were able to place essential pieces of equipment in the hands of our caregivers, including new imaging and monitoring equipment in our surgical suites. Our respiratory therapists were the proud recipients of a new EKG machine and pulse oximetry equipment. Emergency patients benefited directly from new stretchers and microscopic equipment. These are just a few of the ways your gifts helped us fulfill the mission of Mercy.

It is because of valued supporters like you that the doors at Mercy Hospital Ardmore are always open to the sick, injured and all those who need physical or spiritual healing in our community. Our sincerest thanks to you for investing in the health of your friends and neighbors!

Sincerely,

People throughout the Ardmore area rely on Mercy for exceptional health care in a faith-based environment. Mercy is dedicated to providing the most advanced medical technologies and health care services available. That dedication and our commitment to provide care to all who need it, regardless of their ability to pay, means Mercy Health Foundation must rally community support to keep your trusted hospital strong. The community’s health depends on it.

Mercy Health Foundation Ardmore is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization and is dependent on the gifts and support of generous individuals, caring corporations and foundations. Your gifts help meet the health care needs of local residents—and all money raised stays in our community.

The seventh annual Arbuckles to Ardmore Race for Mercy was held March 20, 2016 and was a great success, netting just under $100,000. This uniquely beautiful marathon begins in the Arbuckle Mountains and winds through rolling hills down to Ardmore, and includes a 20.6 mile, half marathon, 5K and kids’ marathon. It is made possible by the hard work and dedication of over 500 volunteers. The race was first run in 2010, and since then has hosted 1,400 runners annually from 30 states and 3 countries.

A2A for Cancer Care

All proceeds benefit the Mercy Cancer Center in Ardmore and have helped fund the purchase of a linear accelerator, PET-CT, lung diagnostics equipment and other items of need. The presence of a high-quality cancer treatment facility in Ardmore helps attract more oncologists to the region as well.

Runners in the 2016 Arbuckles to Ardmore enjoy spectacular scenery while raising money for a good cause. In 2016, nearly $100,000 was raised for Mercy Cancer Center.

Patient Story: Dave Palesano

After months of vertigo and not feeling like himself, Dave Palesano ended up in the Mercy Hospital Ardmore emergency room. At just 63, he was diagnosed with leukemia. A few weeks later, still reeling from his cancer diagnosis, Dave was again rushed to Mercy’s ER. He needed two stints immediately placed into his heart to help unblock the main cardiac arteries. Following the heart procedure, Dave spent time in Mercy’s ICU before the family once again turned their focus to defeating cancer.

“I have no doubt that donors like you helped save my dad’s life,” said his daughter Sara Cope. “My dad needed a high level of care to manage his cancer treatment and the multitude of other health issues that came with it. Your donations help Mercy purchase lifesaving equipment, fund new treatment technologies and employ exceptional staff.”

In 2015, Sara’s brother Ben ran the A2A half marathon in their father’s honor. When Ben crossed the finish line, his dad was there to put the medal around

his neck. One year later, at the 2016 A2A, Dave himself walked the 5k. “We kept seeing my dad’s Mercy nurses and caregivers on the sidelines cheering him on,” said Sara. “We’re forever grateful for the exceptional care we found at Mercy, but also for the love, hope and kindness that my dad encountered at every step along the way.”

“Since its founding nearly two hundred years ago, Mercy has always been

A New Award at the Gala

At the gala, Mercy Health Foundation executive director André Moore presented the first Kriet-Davidson Appreciation Award to Alison Smalley, creator of the Arbuckles to Ardmore Race for Mercy. From left: Curtis Davidson, Alison Smalley, André Moore and John Kriet.

Mercy Health Foundation Ardmore hosted its second annual gala on New Year’s Eve 2015. The event was a great success with over 200 seats sold, raising over $17,500. At the gala, the Foundation introduced the new Kriet-Davidson Appreciation Award. Given to the individual (or business) who has made the most substantial contribution to advancing Mercy Health Foundation Ardmore, the award was named after John Kriet and Curtis Davidson, who played vital roles in the fundraising efforts for the new Ardmore

Patient Tower. The first Kriet-Davidson Appreciation Award was presented to Alison Smalley, creator of the Arbuckles to Ardmore Race for Mercy. Instead of a plaque, a local artist was commissioned to paint a landscape scene incorporating A2A and Alison’s initials.

supported by the communities it serves,” said Mercy Health Foundation executive director André Moore. “We are so grateful for the dedication of families like the Palesanos who help Mercy extend our mission to even more people.”
