LIMA, OH (WLIO) - Mercy Health-Saint Rita's offering up a tasty thank you for their employees for National Hospital Week.
Mercy Health is the largest employer in the area, and they will treat their 2,500 associates and volunteers to a meal in honor of Hospital Week. Luckily, the rain held off for a picnic at the medical center today.
Without the hard work of employees, hospital officials say they couldn't provide the care that they give their patients daily.
"It really recognizes all of our staff and the amazing contributions they make 365 days a year, every single hour of the day. We are so appreciative, and this is just one small way that we can show that. Healthcare is rewording and difficult work, and we are so grateful for each and every one of them," says Ronda Lehman, president of Mercy Health-St. Rita's.
National Hospital Week has been around since the 1920s and is an opportunity to highlight hospitals, health systems, and healthcare workers.
