Send Some Cheer to Families at MercyOne Children’s Hospital

No one plans on spending the holidays in a hospital room. Sending a holiday card can bring a little cheer to those receiving care at MercyOne Children’s Hospital this holiday season. MercyOne Children’s Hospital is a statewide hospital that serves more than 60,100 patients annually through various areas.

Help us let these children and families know that even though they are not home for the holidays their community is supporting them.

If you would like to purchase a Christmas gift for the children at MercyOne Children’s Hospital, please visit our Amazon Wish List for ideas. The items on this list have been chosed by our Child Life Specialists, who provide personalized and evidence-based support for our pediatric patients as they prepare for procedures and surgeries. Research shows that when kids are prepared for such events, they have improved medical outcomes.

Please mail your Christmas card to:
