A lot of people right now are rightly appreciating healthcare workers, and wondering how they can help them. MercyOne has released another idea for their staff:

Each day heroes across Iowa continue to serve their communities to prepare and prevent the spread of COVID-19. MercyOne, one of Iowa’s largest health care systems, invites community members to show their support for health care and all essential workers by displaying hearts printed or digital hearts across windows and social media.

Community members are invited to visit www.MercyOne.org/covid19 to order a T-shirt or window decals where proceeds will help fund the MercyOne COVID-19 Relief Fund. Additionally, community members can print hearts in a variety of colors or download and share on social media. Please share your hearts on social media using the hashtag #PowerofMercyOne. The photos will be shared with health care workers in MercyOne care locations across Iowa.

“We thank the community for their ongoing support during this time,” said Bob Ritz, MercyOne President and CEO. “We are proud of our health care heroes who are working tirelessly to treat and care for all in need.”

For additional ways to give during COVID-19, please visit www.MercyOne.org/covid19.
