#HeatSafety matters! During hot stretches like this one, vehicles can heat up quickly! We took this photo at 3pm today when it was 95°, and look at how hot it was inside this car that had been sitting for an hour! Never leave children or pets in an unattended vehicle. #MercyNWA

#BackToSchool excitement is here at #Mercy NWA! Our co-workers donated 800 items to benefit local teachers and school nurses. And a special congratulations to our clinic co-workers, who brought in 589 of those items. Check out all the great items that will be put to good use!
