62 Business Record Pillars of Philanthropy 2017 Mercy Cancer Center: Excellent care. Medical triumphs. Honesty. Acts of compassion.
Cancer: A word we hope we never hear for ourselves or our loved ones. Unfortunately, it is a word heard by countless people each day, like Julie, who learned she has ovarian cancer. She must travel to Mercy from her northern Iowa home for treatment. Her husband must remain behind as he cannot afford to miss work. The family is left wondering, how do we cope with these additional expenses?
Fortunately, the William J. Semon Family Resource Fund exists. Established in memory of Dr. Semon, a metro area gastroenterologist who passed away from pancreatic cancer, the fund helps lessen the financial burdens accompanying a cancer diagnosis. For Julie this means support with transportation and hotel costs, allowing her to remain close to Mercy while receiving treatment. Since 2012, the fund has provided thousands of dollars of immediate support to cancer patients and families when they need it most!
“A cancer diagnosis changes everything. Treating cancer becomes the most urgent thing in one’s life. This often means more expense, less income, and a lot more stress. The money this fund provides to patients and their families is a very small gesture in the greater scheme of things, but it helps ease the burden, allowing families to focus on what truly matters.”
— Linda Semon, wife of Dr. William J. Semon
(L-R) Dr. Richard Deming, Linda Semon, Tim Hackbart
Mercy Foundation and Mercy Cancer Center are deeply grateful to the family and friends of Dr. Semon for making this fund possible, giving peace of mind to many families as they navigate a life-changing diagnosis of cancer. We invite you to join these efforts. Please visit foundation.mercydesmoines.org or call (515) 247-3248 to make a gift.

Divorced biological parents, molested at a young age, taken away from my parents because of drug and alcohol abuse, bullied at school and raped as a teenager. My circumstances indicated I was at-risk — and brought me to Wildwood Hills Ranch.
The Ranch was a constant, positive influence and made all the difference in my life. Despite adversity, I did not have behavioral issues, develop addiction to drugs or alcohol and I earned good grades. The Ranch helped me stay on track to pursue the life I wanted to live.
I attribute my positive choices and success to God and to the leaders at Wildwood who poured into my life. I graduated from college, have a successful career in real estate and now work as the Events Director at Wildwood. I am honored to share my story so others know the importance of the Ranch to Iowa’s at-risk youth. Today I’m pursuing my dream to help as many children in Iowa find their purpose and realize their past does not define their future.
