In The Leadership Role: Dr. David Maine and Sister Helen Amos, RSM, Appear on “Medoscopy”

Dr. David N. Maine, President and CEO of Mercy Health Services, Mercy Medical Center, and Sister Helen Amos, RSM, Executive Chair, Mercy Board of Trustees, are the guests for the hospital's ongoing talk show series, "Medoscopy," airing on Facebook Watch.

A 30-minute pre-taped program that explores the background and lives of Mercy clinicians, patients and others, Medoscopy was launched in spring 2022 and airs in two 15-minute segments. Past episodes of Medoscopy are available for viewing on Mercy's YouTube channel.

In this latest installment, Dr. Maine and Sister Helen discuss their education and backgrounds, how they came to Mercy, and established leadership roles with the nearly 150-year-old Catholic hospital.

Dr. Maine noted how he was born the son of Jewish-Iraqi refugees who fled Iraq for Europe in 1972 due to the ongoing persecution of the religious minority. With the assistance of the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, an international refugee aid organization, Dr. Maine's family eventually immigrated to the United States, settling in Rochester, New York in 1974.

Sister Helen noted her days in education before coming to Baltimore, working as a teacher in Georgia. Sister Helen took a position as Registrar for Mount Saint Agnes College where she had earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Mathematics in 1962. Sister Helen served as President of the Sisters of Mercy of the Union in Silver Spring, MD from 1984 to 1991.

Sister Helen also served as Mercy Medical Center President and CEO, 1992 to 1999, succeeding Sister Mary Thomas Zinkand, RSM. Thomas R. Mullen took the reins after Sister Helen and was himself succeeded by Dr. Maine in 2020.

Medoscopy is filmed on the campus of Mercy Medical Center in downtown Baltimore with video, sound, and lighting by Zinnia Film.
