MercyOne Clinton Medical Center recognized for a century of membership in the American Hospital Association

The American Hospital Association (AHA) recently presented its 100-year milestone award to MercyOne Clinton Medical Center.

Liz Summy, FACHE, the AHA Regional Executive, presented the award to Mellissa Wood, Chief Operating and Nursing Officer, and Dr. Ashton Nickles, Chief Medical Officer.

On behalf of everyone at MercyOne, I want to extend our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to the AHA and the Clinton community for their support over the past 100 years,” said Mellissa Wood, COO / CNO of MercyOne Clinton Medical Center.
