“It’s critical for us that we’re supporting the community with the initiatives that we have in place,” said Ronda Lehman, president of Mercy Health–St. Rita’s. “And so while our own associates have a need, so do many other working parents in the community who also need childcare. And I think it creates a wonderful mix and a wonderful blend of kids that will be here.”
