With the help of the local community, We Spend Local was able to donate $300 to Mercy Health Urbana Hospital's Guardian Angel Fund.

In September We Spend Local Network's Adam Moore interviewed Jamie Houseman, President of Mercy Health Urbana Hospital and learned about the hospital's facility upgrades, Mercy's COVID response and more! You can hear the full interview at www.wespendlocal.com.

Along with this podcast, We Spend Local released a shirt, designed by Elle A. Design and printed by Striv Clothing Co., dedicated to Mercy Health and 50% of the funds raised were then donated back to Mercy. Jamie and Mercy Health Urbana Hospital chose to donate these proceeds to their Guardian Angel Fund, a fund designated for Champaign County children with medical expenses that would not otherwise be covered. It covers costs for things like prescriptions, specialist visits and more. These funds have also been used to purchase winter coats.
