Our Spirit of Giving - an annual giving program for Mercy Hospitals of Bakersfield employees.
Mercy Hospitals of Bakersfield has a long history of philanthropic support, and Mercy employees have always been the first to give and have given most generously. We proudly offer the opportunity to continue this tradition of giving through Our Spirit of Giving, the Friends of Mercy Foundation’s annual employee giving program.
Our mission of ensuring state-of-the-art, compassionate healthcare for all in our community has never been more relevant or critical. With your support, we will continue to advance Mercy’s mission of healing now and for generations to come.
100% of your gift will support:
Cardiac Cath Lab
Mercy Southwest Hospital will soon feature state-of-the-art cardiac catheterization suites designed to bring cutting-edge technology and rapid, life-saving intervention capabilities to our community.
NICU
What was once a 9 bed nursery is now 18 private family NICU suites – giving more room, privacy and peace of mind during life’s most delicate moments.
Equipment & Technology
This fund will help advance critical capital projects throughout the hospital, ensuring each department has the equipment and technology necessary to continue providing high quality care.
Sister Judy Morasci Endowment for Women & Children
Sister Judy Morasci, RSM, retired as Vice President of Mission Integration after 26 years of dedicated service to Mercy Hospitals and the Bakersfield Community. To honor her legacy, the Friends of Mercy Foundation established the Sister Judy Morasci Endowment for Women and Children. This endowment will live in perpetuity, benefitting local organizations who serve women and children with the most critical need.
Community Outreach "Care From the Heart: Funding Dignity at Home"
This program provides seniors with access to healthcare by providing necessary personal care services, and instrumental services, that allows them to remain living independently at home.
