FERGUSON, Mo. With shiny shovels in hand and while wearing hardhats and masks, several leaders turned dirt Monday morning, marking the official start of construction on a new Mercy Clinic in Ferguson.
“Today marks the chapter where Mercy responds to the call to promote health and wellness for Ferguson residents,” said Donn Sorensen, Mercy executive vice president and chairman of the board and CEO of Health and Homes.
Betty Jo Rocchio, Mercy’s chief nursing officer, has been promoted to senior vice president while keeping her current role overseeing nursing. Understanding the critical role nurses play in the overall health outcomes for patients, as part of her enhanced responsibilities, she will also join Mercy’s senior leadership team.
In her expanded role, Rocchio will continue to lead more than 15,000 nurses across Mercy’s four states of Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Kansas. She will also work with other clinical leaders and teams to identify and standardize optimal care paths for patients, using data gleaned from Mercy’s robust electronic health record.
