Nothing brings a community together quite like Kids Day at the Defiance County Fair!

Mercy Health was proud to spend the day with local families, community partners and kids of all ages during this beloved annual tradition. From 4-H STEM activities and crafts to face painting, games and plenty of smiles, Kids Day was a great reminder of what makes our community so special.

“Events like Kids Day give us an opportunity to meet families where they are and be part of a fun tradition that brings our community together,” said Community Relations Director, Laurie McCann. “Mercy Health is proud to support activities that encourage healthy, active and connected communities.”

At Mercy Health, caring for our community goes beyond the walls of our hospitals and medical offices. We're committed to supporting events that bring people together, promote wellness and help create healthy, connected communities for generations to come.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello. We loved being part of the fun!

Members of the Defiance community recently came together at Defiance College for an Overdose Awareness event dedicated to honoring lives lost, supporting those impacted by addiction and spreading hope for recovery.

Representing Mercy Health — Defiance, Laurie McCann joined community leaders, health care professionals, students and local organizations committed to education, prevention, treatment and recovery.

“Events like this remind us that behind every statistic is a person, a family and a story,” said McCann. “As a health care organization and as a community, we have a responsibility to offer compassion, support, education and hope. No family should have to walk this journey alone.”

The event served as a powerful reminder that recovery is possible, help is available and no one should face addiction alone. By working together, we can break the stigma, support those in need and create a healthier future for our community.

A message to our patients in Ohio with Medical Mutual of Ohio (MMO) health insurance:

Our current contract with MMO ends Dec. 31, 2026. And, we are in discussions with MMO, actively working toward a new agreement. However, if an agreement is not reached before Jan. 1, 2027, Mercy Health physicians, hospitals and care sites in Ohio will be considered out-of-network for patients covered by MMO.

For now, nothing changes. You should continue to see your Mercy Health providers and keep any scheduled appointments.

Emergency care remains available regardless of network status. Should Mercy Health become out-of-network with MMO, some patients receiving ongoing care for certain chronic or complex conditions may qualify for Continuity of Care protections.

What you can do now:
To better understand your options and to ensure your access to Mercy Health care, consider taking the following steps:
▪️ Call MMO at the number on the back of your insurance card to ask how your coverage could be affected.
▪️ Talk with your employer or benefits representative if you receive MMO coverage through work.
▪️ If you have a Medicare Advantage plan, speak with your broker or plan representative about options for maintaining in-network access to Mercy Health doctors, hospitals and care sites.
▪️ Visit https://www.mercy.com/MMOUpdates for updates and to learn more about your coverage options and ways to keep your Mercy Health care team in network.

At Mercy Health, we understand how important it is to continue receiving care from care teams you know and trust. We remain committed to reaching an agreement with MMO that protects patients' access to affordable, high-quality health care. We will continue to keep you informed as discussions progress, and we are doing everything we can to avoid any disruption to your care.
