The Mercy Health Foundation Mahoning Valley Healthcare Visionary Awards recognize those who make a profound impact in our community in the spirit and mission that have inspired the Sisters of the Humility of Mary since 1911, when St. Elizabeth Hospital opened it’s doors. Three of these awards are presented each year:

The Mahoning Valley Leadership in Health Award: Amy Acton, MPH, MD

The Heart of the Mission Award:  James F. Kravec, MD

The Continuing the Legacy Award: Mercy Health Youngstown Hispanic Health Program, Mirta Arrowsmith, RN

Join us in the privilege of sharing the stories of three inspiring individuals who in their everyday lives provide an example of mission to serve the poor and underserved, of their visionary leadership in helping make the Mahoning Valley a healthier place, and of their exceptional stewardship of the resources provided by the Mercy Health Foundation by continuing the legacy of the Sisters. The 1911 Founder’s Circle was created to recognize donors who have made a gift of $1,911 or more and are invited to the VIP Reception preceding the awards ceremony.

Your contribution and all event proceeds are used to provide the most advanced care possible to our community. Funds raised ensure that Mercy Health’s high-quality care is accessible and affordable for all. Thank you for your support.
