This Easter Sunday, join us as we celebrate and remember Jesus' resurrection with this prayer.

God of life and love,
Today we celebrate the joyous feast of Easter, commemorating that first Easter Sunday when you raised your son Jesus from the grave to enjoy new and everlasting life. In the midst of the crosses we bear through life, may our celebration of Jesus’ resurrection renew us in faith, strengthen us in hope, and inspire within us a greater commitment to love generously and courageously. Open our hearts to the gift of your Spirit, that we might aspire to live in the light of the newness of life and love your son’s resurrection makes possible. We make this prayer through Christ our risen Lord.

Across our footprint, we are continuing our commitment to improving access to care, strengthening well-being and supporting healthier communities, as exhibited in our recently released 2025 Community Health Annual Report. This report is a snapshot of how our ministry continues to put good to work beyond our walls.

“Our report goes beyond data to reflect the commitment of our Community Health teams to advancing health and well-being through mission-driven action,” said Gina Hemenway, interim vice president of Community Health. “Each success represents meaningful progress in addressing the factors that shape health — such as food and nutrition security, access to care, affordable housing and social connection — so we can build healthier, more resilient communities.”

"When I found Dr. Gregory Johnston, I knew he was the one who was going to change my life for the better," shared Brittnee, a 34-year-old mom of five who made the brave decision to take her life back for herself and for her children. To Brittnee, finding the right surgeon made all the difference. Dr. Johnston and team are passionate about helping patients improve their daily lives. In her 30s, Brittnee decided it was time to take back control of her life. She sought out Mercy Health – Perrysburg Weight Management Solutions.

“I have always had weight problems,” Brittnee shares. “I was put on steroids at a young age for severe asthma, and that contributed to my weight gain.” Despite years of trying everything from calorie counting to yo-yo dieting, nothing seemed to work—especially after having her children back-to-back in her early 20s. Everything changed when Brittnee welcomed her youngest child. “When I had my last child, weighing in at 400 lbs, I didn’t know how I was going to be able to run after my child.” That moment became her turning point.

Today, Brittnee is beyond grateful. “I’m thankful for the opportunity to basically start my life over and get to LIVE.” Her only regret? “Not doing this sooner.” Brittnee’s journey is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to choose yourself—and your future.
