Legacy of Faith Campaign for the
Joyce E. Lillis School of Nursing
Mercy Health Sciences University has officially launched the public phase of the most ambitious fundraising effort the College has ever undertaken in its 125-year history: a $15 million Legacy of Faith Campaign for the Joyce E. Lillis School of Nursing to build an innovative facility dedicated to nursing simulation and learning. The completed project will include purposefully designed classrooms and simulation labs outfitted with modern patient care technology and will fulfill our promise of excellence to students by delivering facilities that reflect the level of professionalism they will encounter as practitioners.

MercyOne Des Moines Foundation serves as the vehicle for all philanthropy for Mercy Health Sciences University. Your gifts through the Foundation to Mercy Health Sciences University will be restricted to the area of your choice. Gifts should be made payable to Mercy Health Sciences University and sent to the MercyOne Des Moines Foundation.
