It’s National Take Your Dog to Work Day. Since our co-workers cannot bring their dogs with them, we brought some huggable hounds to them! Zillah and four other LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs are visiting Mercy Hospital South co-workers during different shifts today. Follow them all on Facebook: Zillah Comfort Dog, Sheba Comfort Dog, Tabby Comfort Dog, Noah Comfort Dog & Esther Comfort Dog.

Facts are facts.

We've heard a lot of feedback about our recent posts about vaccines. Real questions deserve real answers, so we asked a Mercy doc to read through some of the comments to clear the air. Thank you, Dr. Aamina Akhtar, chief medical officer at #MercySouthSTL!

To protect our youngest patients as the Delta variant of COVID surges in our community, we will begin limiting visitors in our labor and delivery rooms to one per patient beginning Monday, June 28. The Delta variant is infecting our younger populations at an alarming rate. Help protect our children. Get vaccinated today.

Every voice matters. Understanding and overcoming this virus is a two-way street, and we're listening to your comments and concerns as we enter this new phase of the pandemic. Dr. Aamina Akhtar, chief medical officer at #MercySouthSTL, has been reviewing your social feedback and wants to set the record straight about vaccines, masks and more.
