If You Could Save Lives... Would You?
You have the power to help save lives by participating in the American Cancer Society’s Cancer Prevention Study-3 (CPS-3). We are inviting men and women, 30 - 65 years of age, who have never been diagnosed with cancer to join this historic study. The purpose of CPS-3 is to better understand factors that cause or prevent cancer and to ultimately eliminate cancer as a major health problem for this and future generations.
Participation is easy, involving only two steps.
1. Enroll at one of the local events below*. Participants are encouraged to register at: www.seeuthere.com/cps3enroll/mercycancercenter
2. Fill out mailed surveys at home every few years to update your information.
* Read and sign an informed consent form, complete a brief written survey, provide a wait circumference measurement and a small blood sample, taken by a certified, trained phlebotomist.

Mercy Leads The Nation AGAIN With A State-Of-The-Art Cardiac Cath Lab In Our Emergency Department
"Time is Muscle"
That's what heart specialists say about heart muscle damage incurred with every passing second of a heart attack. Every moment lost means damage to the heart muscle, resulting in diminished chances for survival and lost quality of life. That is why Mercy has dramatically reduced the transition period from Emergency Department to Cardiac Catheterization Lab to mere seconds!
When the unthinkable happens... think Mercy.
HOW THE ED CATH LAB SAVES TIME:
EMS crew relays vital information to Emergency Chest Pain Center en route toMercy.
Emergency Chest Pain Center Team makes diagnosis and prepares for patient’s arrival.
Patient is admitted directly to ED Cath Lab for procedure to begin.
Reduced time results in increased survival rates, faster recovery and higher quality of life.
