“I would like to personally thank you [Ken Cates]and the rest of your team for your dedication to Mercy since the May 2011 tornado. Your team's commitment to Mercy has been much appreciated during this past year. I especially would like to highlight the work done on the temporary replacement hospital. We had a successful grand opening on April 15th and that success is mainly due to the hard work of the Northstar Management team. Denise LaChance, Tony Ruebsam and Dan O'Connor especially have played a crucial role to ensure that this facility opened successfully and on time... I speak on behalf of the entire Mercy family when I say thank you for everything that you have done.”
