The Mercy Hospital Anniversary Ball To Celebrate 160 Years Of Mercy Care In Cork Friday, November 17th
– The Clayton Hotel, Silversprings
University Hospital (MUH) celebrates its 160th
This year the Mercy anniver-
sary, while The Mercy Hos- pital Foundation celebrates its 10th
birthday; and to cel-
ebrate 160 years of Mercy care for the sick, together they will host The Mercy Hospital Anniversary Ball on Friday, November 17th at The Clayton Hotel Sil- versprings, Cork. This very special event is an opportunity to recognise and celebrate the historical and current
made by MUH, its clini- cians, its care
contribution givers, its
staff and the Foundation to the people of Cork and be- yond. The contribution the Hospital makes to both the delivery of healthcare, ed- ucation and the wider eco- nomic and social agenda within Cork is significant, and as such it has rightful- ly earned the respect and support of the public as a much beloved institution. The
on November 17th
spectacular event will
kick off the festive season,
and will see Hospital staff, former patients, and sup- porters from the corporate, political and social world come together to celebrate; and in turn, raise funds for various projects underway in The Mercy Hospital. The
highly anticipated
black-tie event begins with a champagne drinks recep- tion at 7pm, followed by a 5 course meal and enter- tainment to keep the dance floor busy until the early hours! Speaking about the con-
tribution of MUH to Cork, and what the future holds, Sandra Daly, CEO, The Mercy University Hospital said “We are delighted to be celebrating 160 years of care in Cork at The Mercy, and the upcoming Anni- versary Ball offers a great opportunity for people connected through MUH to
come together, have
some fun, and recognise the Hospital’s significant contribution to Cork and look to the future. “Healthcare is primarily
a values driven sector and this is particularly evident in the Mercy as a voluntary hospital due to its
legacy
which today remains mis- sion focused and consistent with the ethos and values of our founders. MUH will continue to serve the peo- ple of Cork for the decades to come with the same val- ues and standards of care, albeit in a changing land- scape as has been done for the past 160 years.” Ms Daly concluded “I
would like to express my sincere appreciation to the Mercy Foundation for their ongoing and invaluable assistance to the hospital. They have our deepest thanks and gratitude as to- gether, with your support; we are able to enhance the services we provide.” Micheál Sheridan, CEO the Mercy Hospital
at
Foundation added “We be- lieve that the Mercy Uni- versity Hospital will con- tinue to serve the people of Cork for the decades to come, as it has been done
for the past 160 years and we are building a Founda- tion that we want to stand the same test of
that we can continue to provide
support
time so to the
sors,
work of clinicians and care givers across the hospital to people when they need help the most. Our mis- sion is to inspire people to support advancements in research, diagnosis, treat- ments and care of patients at The Mercy University Hospital, the People’s Hos- pital. “Just like our predeces- the
Hospital today
endeavours to respond to the particular needs of its time. The Mercy by virtue of its ethos, heritage and geographical location is best placed to provide care to the sick in today’s soci- ety. We can of course only do this with the invaluable support of donors.” Funds raised through the
Anniversary Ball will go towards projects and ser- vices including the Mercy Cancer CARE Centre; the
