Oakland Mercy Hospital to Have Open House


Oakland Mercy Hospital invites everyone to attend an open house tomorrow (Thurs.) from 5:00-6:30 p.m. The hospital has undergone several renovations and is offering a tour to all in attendance.

“The tour will feature the new mammography and dexa scan room, the expansion of the emergency room and the renovated treatment rooms,” said Mona Tanksley, Director of Health Information Management at Oakland Mercy Hospital.

Come with an appetite! “Grilled hot dogs, chips and drinks will be served to those attending,” Mona stated.

The hospital staff is excited to show off their renovations to the public. “We hope to see everyone at our open house,” said John Werner, Oakland Mercy Hospital Administrator.
