Children's Mercy Hospital

“Children’s Mercy is such a great place due to the fact it provides many benefits to help employees balance their work life with their family life. I am so very grateful for Children’s Mercy Hospital and proud to work at a company that advocates for children not only at our facility but also in the community.”
– Karen Henrion, Office Coordinator, Nutrition Services, Adoptive Grandmother
 

"As a pediatric hospital, we are committed to providing the highest level of care for children, but that mission extends far beyond our hospital walls. We also advocate for all children in our community, and one way in which we carry out that commitment is by providing support for our staff members who want to provide a home and loving parents for children who need them. We are very proud of our employees who give so tremendously of themselves by adopting a child, and we are pleased to be able to help facilitate and support this endeavor."
- Randall L. O’Donnell, Ph.D., President/CEO 

 
"We know that one of the best ways to develop a productive work force is by helping our employees and their families achieve a healthy balance between their work and their home life. We offer a number of benefits which support our employees achieving and maintaining this balance, including our program which provides support for staff members who adopt a child. We believe that, as a children’s hospital, we should be a role model in helping parents provide the best care for their children, and encouraging and supporting employees who want to adopt children is a key way in which we achieve that goal."
- Dan Wright, Vice President, Human Resources
