Inspiring philanthropy. Changing lives. supportmercyfoundation.org

President’s Message Autumn is a natural time of year to pause and count our blessings for the abundance of the season. It can be quite moving to reflect on the gratitude we feel for our families, our friends, our health and our homes. This rich seasonal tradition of appreciation also inspires us to help those who are less fortunate.

Sister Bridget McCarthy, RSM

A Calling Answered with a Life of Service This year, Sister Bridget McCarthy, RSM marks her 50th year of service with Dignity Health. An outstanding and inspirational health care leader in the Sacramento area, Mercy Foundation is honored to celebrate her many remarkable achievements.

From the age of eight, Sr. Bridget knew she wanted to become a Sister. “During those early years I was inspired and fascinated by hearing mission stories and seeing pictures of children in need in foreign lands, and I knew I wanted to help them.” she explains. As a high school student educated by the Sisters of Mercy, her principal was the first to tell her about the religious community here in Sacramento. Although she had never before left Ireland or her large family, Sr. Bridget set out for California to care for those children whose stories had inspired her. Sr. Bridget is very appreciative of the sacrifice her parents made in giving their blessing to her and later to her sister, Susan, to answer their respective calls to serve God’s people half way around the world.

As a student nurse, she did her clinical work at Mercy General Hospital, the only hospital sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy within the region at that time. “My favorite work was critical care nursing,” she says, “I got to do direct patient care and I saw miracles. People we thought may never recover would walk out of the Continued on page 2

We are grateful for the generosity of our amazing family of Mercy Foundation donors. We recently had the pleasure of hosting our annual evening reception to recognize and celebrate our McAuley Society and Legacy Society members. We want to express how appreciative we are for every one of our donors and the role you play in advancing the expansive mission of the Sisters of Mercy. Each of you, through your support for Mercy Foundation, extends the work of the Sisters of Mercy in our community, educating the underserved, housing the homeless, feeding the hungry, and caring for the sick.

With your help, the Adamson Family Sports Complex was recently completed at Cristo Rey High School, greatly enhancing the overall experience and opportunities for these deserving students from disadvantaged Continued on page 5

hospital.” At the age of 25, she took her final vows as a Sister of Mercy and soon was called upon to transfer to the brand new Mercy San Juan Medical Center.

She would serve there for six years, providing patient care in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and eventually becoming the unit manager. “Patient care was so much more basic at that time…it is remarkable how far technology has come,” she says. Despite what she describes as “unbelievably fast change,” one constant that remains is that the care is still delivered with great compassion and kindness to this day.

In 1980, Sr. Bridget responded to a call that would change her life: to pursue graduate education in Health Care Administration & Planning.

When she returned to Sacramento in 1982, her career in leadership began. Initially serving as Assistant Administrator at Mercy General Hospital, she was soon promoted to the role of hospital CEO. Following the formation of Catholic Healthcare West, in 1986, she was called upon to lead an effort that would culminate in a restructure of the Mercy Hospitals within the Sacramento region. This effort resulted in the consolidation of Mercy General, Mercy San Juan and Mercy Hospital Folsom into a single corporation, governed by a single board. In 1987 she was 2

appointed President and CEO of the newly formed corporation, Mercy Healthcare Sacramento.

During her 10 years in that role, Sr. Bridget and her strong team of leaders shaped the Greater Sacramento Service Area into what it is today, overseeing the construction of the new Mercy Hospital of Folsom, the acquisition of American River Hospital, and the affiliations with Methodist Hospital of Sacramento, Woodland Memorial Hospital and Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital. “Not only did we bring the hospitals together and begin the consolidation of support services, but we focused on changing the culture by moving from independence to collaboration and inclusion. That is part of the story that continues even to this day. I believe it was our compelling Vision, Mission and Core Values that attracted community hospitals to affiliate with us, and today we are the stronger for those relationships,” says Sr. Bridget.

In 1997, Sr. Bridget was called upon to assume the role of Executive Vice President of Northern California Operations for Catholic Healthcare West. She has also served on the elected leadership team of the Sisters of Mercy, and as President & CEO for Mercy Foundation.

For her outstanding guidance and service, Sr. Bridget has received many prestigious awards.

These include The Rescue Now Humanitarian Award, the Sacramento Regional Pride Award in Health and Medicine, the Salvation Army William Booth Award, and the Sacramento Chamber of Commerce Businesswoman of the Year, among others.

Over the course of her career, huge shifts have taken place within our community, the health care industry and the Catholic Church. “When I started nursing, Medicare had just passed,” she remembers, “and in 1965, Vatican II took place and dramatically changed religious life as well.” Sacramento has expanded rapidly over the past fifty years, as has the need for high quality health care for its growing population.

What has not changed is the dedication that Sr. Bridget and the other Sisters of Mercy demonstrate in meeting the outstanding needs of the most vulnerable members of the communities they serve. “It is our obligation to be in touch with the needs of the people,” she says, “There will always be a need for health care, but it may manifest itself in different ways.”

“Fifty years is a long time, and the road had many twists and turns,” she recounts. When faced with challenges, the example of Sister Mary Baptist Russell provides Sister Bridget the inspiration she needs to stay energized and committed to her calling. She would remember

that during an earlier era, they didn’t have transportation and there was horrendous suffering and disease. Sacramento faced natural disasters like the flood of 1861, but the faith of the Sisters kept them steadfast in their service to the poor, ill and vulnerable. From this, Sr. Bridget draws strength. “Through it all I have been inspired by the Sisters and by those with whom I have ministered. God has called me, and my community has trusted me to do things I never could have done alone.”

Sr. Bridget currently serves in Mission Integration for Dignity Health, and continues to play an integral role at Mercy Foundation. We are deeply grateful to her and the other local Sisters of Mercy who are a guiding force for our work. Thank you Sr. Bridget for your strength, leadership and faith. You have built an enduring legacy for all of us to follow.

Honoring Outstanding Generosity McAuley & Legacy Society Celebration Recently, Mercy Foundation had the pleasure of hosting our annual evening reception to recognize and celebrate our McAuley Society members, those donors who have given a total of $25,000 or more, and our Legacy Society members, who have included Mercy Foundation in their estate planning. Mr. Ritz Naygrow received Mercy Foundation’s highest honor, the Inspiring Philanthropy Award, for his extraordinary generosity in benefitting Cardiovascular Rehabilitation at Mercy General Hospital, the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Mercy San Juan Medical Center, and the construction of

June’s Place, a memory care unit located within Mercy McMahon Terrace. To watch a touching video about June’s Place that was shown during our program, please visit our website at supportmercyfoundation.org.

We ended the evening on a sweet note when Sister Bridget McCarthy, RSM was pleasantly surprised by a celebration of her 50 years of service with Dignity Health and our health care ministry. We are so grateful to our entire family of generous donors for bringing the mission of the Sisters of Mercy to life!

Health Care with Heart

Patients who are Grateful for our Healing Ministry “The first day we met, we immediately started finishing each other’s sentences.” Helen Sears lights up when she talks about her husband Murven, the man she calls her best friend and her rock. “He has been a gift in my life for 48 years.”

When Murven first began experiencing heart problems, he had two outpatient procedures, but soon it became clear that more intervention was needed.

Dr. Michael Chang, director of cardiovascular services for Mercy Medical Group, told the Sears Murven needed surgery sooner rather than later. “Murven had done research and discovered that the Dignity Health Heart & Vascular Institute was the most highly rated in California, so we decided to go there,” recounts Helen.

Last year, Helen and Murven, who live in Mendocino, traveled to Sacramento for his surgery that involved five bypasses and two valve replacements. While the Sears had a great level of condfidence in Murven’s cardiovascular surgeon, Dr. Frank Slachman, they were pleasantly surprised by the outstanding level of care the rest of the team provided. “I looked around 4

and noticed that everything was done not only with professional integrity, but also with a gentleness and kindness,” Helen explains.

“At one point, I had been in the hospital too long and I forgot to eat. I’m hypoglycemic and I was getting wobbly. A staff member saw me, took me by the arm, found me a seat, brought me a juice and sat with me until I was alright. She kept coming back to check on me.

That’s just one example of the kind of thoroughness we experienced, and it was always done with such kindness.”

Murven, who is in his eighties, was

“When I met Sister Kathleen Horgan, RSM, I said ‘It occurs to me that everything being done in this hospital is performed as a ministry.’” in surgery for eight and a half hours.

Helen was understandably anxious during that time and was grateful to find that there was a chapel at Mercy General Hospital. “I went to the chapel and a priest came to help me. He said, ‘what questions would you like to ask me?’ I said, ‘how can I be strong for my husband when I am a wreck with concern?’”

remembers Helen. Through the priest’s counsel, Helen said she gained the strength she needed to approach the next stage of her life, supporting her husband and caring for him.

“It gave me what I needed to escort Murven through the rest of our journey. It is hard to watch him age, but thanks to his surgery, his heart is giving him no trouble whatsoever.

Now, he has the luxury of aging normally,” says Helen.

For Helen, her experience during Murven’s surgery was spiritual and transformational. “When I met Sister Kathleen Horgan, RSM, I said ‘It occurs to me that everything being done in this hospital is performed as a ministry.’ Sister Kathleen beamed and said, ‘Yes! That is exactly what we aim for!’” Helen explains, “I learned that we are here to learn what we can, give what we can, and live each day as a ministry. It literally changed my life.”

“There’s something wonderful when people connect in true kindness. It just doesn’t get any better than that.

I saw that joy in the face of every single staff member we met,” Helen says. The Sears were so grateful for the care that they received, that they chose to make a grateful patient gift through Mercy Foundation to benefit the Dignity Health Heart & Vascular Institute. “And then we got the Mercy Foundation newsletter

and realized that the ministry of the Sisters of Mercy extends into the community, helping the homeless, feeding the hungry and educating children in need,” explained Helen, “and so we wanted to keep giving.”

Today, the Sears are among our dedicated group of monthly donors and we are blessed to count them as part of the Mercy Foundation family.

You too can honor a caregiver or become a monthly donor.

Inspiring Words from a Philanthropy Employee Champion Each quarter, Mercy Foundation chooses Philanthropy Employee Champions from each of our supported hospitals and offices in the Sacramento region. Some have been giving consistently for ten years or more and we are deeply grateful for their steadfast support of our ministries.

Earlier this year, Carmella Van Koughnet was chosen as the Champion from Mercy San Juan Medical Center. She shared the following thought with us: “Just imagine if every Dignity Health employee gave a little something each pay period. Together we could do so much more for those in need in our community.”

Mercy Foundation is very appreciative of our generous employee donors and particularly thankful for those like Carmella who inspire generosity in others. Thank you for your support!
