Lift Up MercyOne Central Iowa Health Care Workers this Holiday Season

MercyOne Central Iowa nurses, providers, clinicians and staff work tirelessly to provide high-quality care to our community. With long shifts, short staffing, stress and much more, it’s important to recognize and support the vital role health care workers play in the health of our community. This holiday season, lift up our MercyOne Central Iowa health care workers and show your appreciation.

Make a Donation to the MercyOne Central Iowa Employee Relief Fund

At MercyOne Central Iowa, our colleagues are our biggest strength. The Employee Relief Fund at MercyOne Des Moines Foundation was established more than 20 years ago to assist MercyOne Central Iowa colleagues experiencing hardship or special circumstances in need of financial assistance. This fund impacts MercyOne Central Iowa health care workers in their hour of need.

Examples of recent fund distribution include supporting a team member whose house was damaged by a tornado, helping a colleague who is caring for a terminally ill family member and more. The Employee Relief Fund is an important resource during these tough and unexpected times
