Work Health & Safety Services
WHSS is an Accredited Collection Facility
Mercy Medical Work Health & Safety Services, is dedicated to providing its clients with superior collection services which ensure the integrity of the specimen and the privacy of the donor.
The Accredited Collection Facility Program involves upholding the highest professional standards in the following two main areas: 1) the collection facility and it's operation and 2) the collection facility's personnel. To obtain accredited status, collection facilities are required to adhere to strict standards in areas such as regulatory compliance, company services standards, specimen handling, operational practices, business ethics and facility equipment. All accredited collection facilities are also required to maintain a staff of Certified Professional Collectors (CPC) that are formally trained in DATIA's Collector Training Course, and a Certified professional Collector Trainer. (CPCT).
One of the most frustrating and costly aspects of workplace drug testing is the high incidence of rejected specimens due to errors at the collection site. As an Accredited Collection Facility staffed with well-trained collectors, you can be assured that Mercy Medical Work Health & Safety Services maintains a minimal number of rejected specimens, thereby saving everyone time and resources.

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.
