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, "Enduring," in which Mercy caputures stories of courage in the aftermath of the storm and looks ahead to Joplin's future. "Rebuilding" describes how Mercy has replaced the hospital destroyed in the tornado. "Caring" explores how Mercy is supporting its co-workers while they try to help Joplin. The works weave a story of past, present and future - and Mercy's promise to value all three.
