Advanced AI technology is helping our caregivers identify problems and get information to care teams more quickly, so we can treat our patients faster than ever before. Radiologists use the new Aidoc program to flag serious issues such as brain bleeds, aneurysms, pulmonary embolisms and more, meaning patients are getting the critical care they need sooner than with traditional methods.

When fluid buildup makes it hard to breathe or move, patients with chronic heart failure need fast relief—without the stress of a hospital stay. That’s why Mercy has a new approach to care. Our fluid management program helps remove excess fluid safely and effectively, allowing patients to get treatment without hospitalization, then head home the same day. Fewer hospital stays mean lower costs, greater comfort and more time where it matters most.

Check this out! The Joint Commission—the group that ensures hospitals meet Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) standards—just featured Mercy's work on preventing hospital-acquired infections in its professional journal! We created a game-changing way to standardize care, lock in best practices and share new ideas across all our hospitals. By bringing together doctors, nurses and infection prevention experts into teams called “triads,” we’re making collaboration easier and keeping our patients safer.

Healthy and a non-smoker, Amanda Courcy wasn’t expecting a lung cancer diagnosis when she sought care for a persistent fever at Mercy’s ER in Northwest Arkansas. She credits the persistence of physicians and clinicians like Dr. Jason McKinney, pulmonologist, with saving her life by diagnosing her cancer early. Amanda underwent surgery and recovery locally and was able focus on her care and recovery while surrounded by family and friends. She describes her experience as "completely blessed," and couldn’t be more grateful. “I am ever so thankful for the amazing health care we have right here in Northwest Arkansas." Together, we can continue providing life-changing care and hope to patients in need.
