In the midst of caring for thousands of patients today, including those fighting for their lives in our hospitals and ICUs, the women and men of Mercy mourned the death and injury of many in our nation's capital yesterday.
Together with our Sisters, we will continue to pray for peace.
We were honored to host the first public vaccine clinic in Oklahoma County today in partnership with OKC-County Health Department. 1,200 adults age 65 and older will receive a COVID-19 vaccination by the end of the day. We learned a lot from this first clinic and look forward to refining our process to serve more Oklahomans in the near future.

This team delivered vaccinations directly to clinical co-workers on patient care units this week with a mobile vaccine clinic. The arrival of the COVID-19 vaccine reminds us of the hope the Christmas season brings each of us, much in the same way the birth of Jesus brought hope to a hurting world. Thank you to our community for your love and support during a challenging year. We wish you a Merry Christmas and a healthy, safe holiday season.
We are so grateful for the love and support of our community this holiday season. TLC Garden Centers donated 550 beautiful poinsettias for our co-workers to enjoy this Christmas.
