When You're Grateful, We're Grateful

Would you like to say “thank you” to the Mercy Hospital caregiver who helped you when you needed it most? From the staff welcoming you, to the nurse who provided you comfort and support, or the physician who provided you the best care possible; Mercy Hospital is committed to your health.

Click here to make a gift in honor of a Mercy caregiver who made a difference in your care and recovery.

The Friends of Mercy Foundation’s Grateful Hearts program provides you a way to thank the Mercy caregiver or department who played a special role in your recovery, while also supporting our efforts to provide the highest quality of care in our community. When a gift is made, the person you are honoring will be sent an acknowledgement letter along with your personalized note and a special Grateful Hearts cup.

When you make a gift, you will be helping us spread Mercy’s healing ministry in our hospital and beyond its walls. You may never see the faces of those you help, but you will forever change their lives and heart. 

Click the "Donate Now" button at the top and select Grateful Hearts as your designation. You may also make your gift by calling the Friends of Mercy Foundation at (661) 663-6700. If you choose to donate online, please "Share Your Story" with us in the comments section. Your story will then be shared with the caregiver that you have selected to honor.

Thank you for choosing Mercy and allowing us to care for you and your loved one during this time. We would be honored to have you as one of our many donors that help us in our healing ministry of caring for patients with kindness, quality and compassion.  

For more than 100 years Mercy, with the help of philanthropic support of grateful patients, has provided healing and hope to Kern County. Thanks to our donors, the Friends of Mercy Foundation proudly supports Mercy Hospitals by funding the purchase of advanced technology, state-of-the-art equipment, and programs that meet the special needs of the most vulnerable in our community. Your gift to Mercy will impact people whose names you will never know. Philanthropic support from our community has allowed a father to walk his only daughter down the aisle after having his life saved with high-tech equipment that was used in treating his cardiac arrest; a grandmother will get to see her grandson graduate from high school because her cancer was diagnosed early using a state-of-the-art Endoscopic Ultrasound and a family in Bakersfield will not go hungry tonight after receiving assistance from our Department of Special Needs and Community Outreach.
