“COVID-19 has been challenging time for everyone, but none more so than on our health care workers and health care facilities.  We wanted to take a moment, at this time of Thanksgiving, to recognize all the doctors, nurses and staff at Mercy Medical Center for their dedication, commitment, and hard work since COVID-19 descended on Oregon and arrived in Douglas County over eight months ago. Thank you, Mercy, for doing your part in keeping us safe and healthy here in Douglas County.”
