Congratulations to Jeremy Jackson, security officer at St. Mary’s Sacred Heart Hospital, on receiving our systemwide October Spirit of Mercy Award! Jeremy joined our ministry in 2021 and demonstrates our Mission and Core Values every day at work and in the community. A few highlights from his nomination include his compassion for those who come to our hospital with mental health emergencies, his calm professionalism and ability to deescalate tense situations, and his commitment to community service, including serving as a children’s basketball coach and recently raising enough donations to provide 150 children in need with bookbags and school supplies. Thank you, Jeremy!
