5 Quick Ways to
LiveUP Today
Mendy Kratofil, RN, Cardiac and Pulmonary
Rehabilitation, Mercy Medical Center–Centerville
MERCY-CENTERVILLE IS FORTUNATE to have Mendy Kratofil, RN,
leading the Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program. Mendy is
passionate about helping others not only complete their programs
but incorporate them into their daily lives long after cardiac
rehabilitation is finished. She encourages patients to start where
they are and make small increases.
Paul Witt, a recent patient, said, "Mendy is motivating and makes
it fun. Had it not been for Mendy, I may not have continued."
"She has a way of motivating you so you feel your goals are
attainable," said another patient. "She is so excited and passionate
about getting people moving. I believe that is the key to her success."
After recently completing a 10K run on Pancake Day, Mendy
went back to encourage one of her patients who was walking the
5K for the first time in his life. They crossed the finish line together.
Mendy lives up for her patients every day through healing forged in
amazing service.
Everyone needs a little
motivation especially
when it comes to
health and exercise.
1. Stop what you are doing
and help someone.
2. Team up with someone to
live a healthier life.
3. Make a care package for
someone in need.
4. Sincerely thank one person
each day.
5. Volunteer for a nonprofit.
