We want to thank everyone for participating in our masking efforts to keep our residents and staff safe this past Flu/COVID season.
Based on the current rates of low activity of Flu and COVID on our campus, we will END our mandatory masking requirement effective March 1, 2025.
Providing Misericordia with accurate, up-to-date contact information is the best way for MFA members to stay abreast of important events and conditions that affect the lives of their Misericordia residents.
Misericordia has now provided a direct and dedicated email address that should be used to report changes to residential addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, and any other important personal information.
This will also allow the MFA to provide an accurate and up-to-date MFA Membership Directory that will benefit us all.
Email any changes to your personal contact information to:
Thursday, June 26th, 2025 at 5:30 pm at The United Club at Soldier Field
SPONSORSHIPS are the major source of fundraising for the Benefit!

Hello Friends. Hope you have had a great start to the new year!
As you may have heard, there was some news yesterday about the freeze to federal financial assistance programs, grants, etc. Please see the below from the Illinois Health Care Association (especially the third paragraph regarding Medicaid). The pause will have no impact on our current funding/programs, and we will continue to work with our associations/friends to monitor any potential future impact to Medicaid with respect to Misericordia and our residents.
