As the nation remembers the storm that ravaged Joplin in May 2011, Mercy has published a series of books on the events that changed the lives of so many in the community, and how the health ministry has responded. The books include this one, "Caring," which explores how Mercy is supporting its co-workers while they attend to the needs of Joplin, and to each other. "Rebuilding" describes how Mercy has replaced the hospital destroyed by the tornado. In "Enduring," Mercy captures stories of the courage in the aftermath of the storm and looks ahead to Joplins future. The works weave a story of past, present and future - and Mercy's promise to value all three.
