Doctors and nurses at Mercy Hospital Ardmore in January were torn between hope from a new COVID-19 vaccine and distress over a record number of hospitalizations spurred by an ongoing pandemic. As hospital beds overflowed into emergency department hallways and waiting rooms early this year, Oklahoma health care workers were finally receiving their second shot of vaccines and the end of the pandemic felt closer than ever.
But almost seven months later, vaccine rates in Carter County have stalled below one-third of the population and local health care providers worry about another uncontrollable surge in infections.

ST. LOUIS, April 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ In any given year, Mercy s more than 3,000 volunteers log hundreds of thousands of hours in service to communities across Mercy s footprint. But for more than a year, almost all of those efforts came to a halt because of the pandemic. While some volunteers continued to knit baby caps for newborns from home and assist in some vaccination clinics, most were unable to do the jobs they love. Now, as COVID-19 cases hit new lows, volunteers are eager to get back to work and serve.
