    Our impact

    A snapshot of the care we provided in 2025.

    $0

    Total value of free, whole-person healthcare provided to our uninsured neighbors in 2025.

    Behind that figure are neighbors, not numbers — people who were listened to, treated with dignity, and sent home without a bill.

    It is the work of volunteers, providers, and donors who give so that cost never stands between a person and care.

    Stories of hope

    Real lives. Real change.

    Portrait of Katelyn, Mercy Volunteer (400+ hours at Mercy)

    “For me, Mercy embodies many small moments of hope and strength. I am reminded of so many sweet faces that have humbled me with their gentleness and kindness despite the many struggles these individuals endure that threaten to harden and embitter their hearts.”

    Portrait of Carlton, Mercy Patient

    “I get my medical and dental services at Mercy, which has had a big impact on me. But most of all, it's the support and care that I get at Mercy that makes a difference, especially when I've been in crisis in my life. I'm 12 months sober right now and thankful to have a place like Mercy for my health needs.”

    Portrait of Dory, Mercy Patient

    “If I had one word to describe Mercy it would be grateful. It's like a family there and I know if I ever need anything, all I have to do is call. I have a real connection with the doctors there who have helped me greatly over the years. Mercy has coordinated care for me countless times and it's not an exaggeration when I say that I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Mercy.”
