Caring for those in need
His Hands Free Medical Clinic and the Community Health Free Clinic serve our community by providing free care to the under- and uninsured. Mercy supports these critical resources through board membership, and radiology and lab services, and financial support. Since February 2011, Mercy also supports mid-level healthcare providers at the Community Health Free Clinic.
