MAY 12, 2017 | VOLUME 17 | ISSUE 19

Mercy physicians, health professionals and staff at all of our campuses, clinics and facilities are the lifeblood of Mercy. Together they heal the sick and tend to the needs of the patients, families and communities we serve. All are guided by the Sisters of Mercy’s Mission and Values of Reverence, Integrity, Compassion and Excellence.

In May 2016, the Spirit of Mercy Award, which recognizes the outstanding efforts of staff members whose professional and personal standards exemplify Mercy's Mission and Vision, started honoring recipients on a monthly basis. Spirit of Mercy Award winners for the past 12 months were recognized at the 2017 Annual Staff Recognition Dinner on Thursday, May 11.

In years past, an overall Spirit of Mercy Award winner has been selected to receive a trip for two to visit the home of the Sisters of Mercy in Ireland. The trip is given in honor of former Mercy Board Chairman Steve Chapman and is funded through generous contributions from members of the community. This year, all of the monthly winners wonderfully exemplified Mercy’s Core Values, making it difficult to select one overall winner. Prizes were instead awarded randomly, with 10 recipients receiving a $500 gift card and one recipient receiving a $1,000 gift card. The trip to Ireland was awarded to Spirit of Mercy Award winner Shawna Gunn.

SPIRIT OF MERCY AWARD WINNERS HONORED AT ANNUAL RECOGNITION DINNER

Shawna Gunn, nursing supervisor on 7 South – Telemetry, was randomly selected to receive the overall Spirit of Mercy Award prize, a trip for two to Ireland to visit the home of the Sisters of Mercy.

The Spirit of Mercy Award will continue to be accepted on a monthly basis. Nominations are due by the 15th of each

month to Laura Wenman, Chief Mission Officer. You can find fillable forms on the MercyNet home page in the upper

left corner. You can also pick up applications in Administration at both central campus and West Lakes.

The Bulletin is published weekly for staff and friends of Mercy Medical Center, 1111 6th Ave., Des Moines, Iowa 50314-2611

If you are interested in submitting information to be printed in the Bulletin, send it to PR and Marketing or call 515-247-3050.
