Although familiar with the sights and sounds of emergency vehicles, the parking lot at Mercy Health – Perrysburg Hospital will take on another look as the local Protective Services Department hosts the first car show, with the goal of helping area students start the school year with the supplies they need.
Sports cars, muscle cars and classic cars will line the hospital’s Surgery Center parking lot outside Entrance C on Saturday, Aug. 14 from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. The event requires no pre-registration or fees and is strictly a donation event. The goal is to fill the police car on-site that day with school supplies.
The Mercy Health Protective Services Department is made up of police officers and security personnel who provide for the safety and security of patients, visitors and staff at all Mercy Health facilities. The team also includes Roman – the area’s first hospital-based K9 officer, specializing in both explosives detection and patient therapy.
In addition to personal cars, awards for the display cars include a Chief’s Choice, Best Muscle Car, Best Classic Car and People’s Choice.
Community members can also make a school supply donation by dropping them off at Mercy Health – Perrysburg Hospital, to the attention of Julie Allen, director of Care Management and Clinical Research.
