   Mercy Health is a nonprofit that runs my preferred hospital and   
   urgent care, my primary care physician, and my husband's cardiologist.   
      
   It's just this side of Catholic.  Crosses in every room, and they   
   have special music that plays on the intercom when a baby is born.   
   It's a blessed event.
