Mercy hospital in Cedar Rapids celebrates 75 years since its 1903 dedication with a year long tribute starting next Sunday November 16. A public party 2 to 4 p.m. will feature archives and photographs.
A historical overview traces Mercy hospital's growth from federal funding under the Lanham Act and a 1957 United Hospitals campaign to build a six story addition in 1959 and a 1971 expansion. The Sisters reorganized governance in 1972 to a lay-majority board while continuing sponsorship. Facilities include Hall Radiation Center and Hallmar, with 1974 vertical expansion and an emphasis on education, ambulance service, and multiple specialized training programs.
The hospital board, tasked with overall management, votes to appoint a new administrator as part of ongoing reorganization. The move aims to streamline leadership and improve patient services across departments.
Joseph E Fournier of San Diego newly elected grand worthy president of the Fraternal Order of Eagles will take part in Tuesday initiation ceremonies for new members of the Cedar Rapids FOE. About 200 persons are expected for the 730 p.m. event at the Eagles club on Seventh Avenue SE. Fournier, a Bridgwater Mass native, recently retired as production control division director at the public works center of the eleventh naval district in San Diego. He has served in numerous FOE roles including San Diego aerie worthy president and California state president.
