Dear Friends,
Welcome to the Mission of Mercy Arizona home page. During 2007 we celebrated our 10th anniversary of being "instruments of God's Love" by bringing mobile medical care services to thousands of uninsured working poor and homeless families throughout Maricopa County. Without the support of friends like you tens of thousands of people, with hopes and dreams just like yours and mine, would not exist without basic medical care and lifesaving medications at a time when they need a helping hand most. Thank you!
We also wish to acknowledge the role our Compassionate Community Partners play in supporting our patients' road to sustainability. We are grateful to good neighbor service providers like St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center, Chandler Regional Medical Center, Mercy Gilbert Hospital, Scottsdale Healthcare-Osborn, Sonora Quest Laboratories, to name just a few, who continue to provide critical pro bono services to keep our patients in the medical safety net until they can get back on their feet. We are sincerely grateful to each of our supporters who made 2007 an incredible year ending with our 1st annual "Mercy in the Morning" community awareness breakfast and fundraising event on December 5th. And words cannot express our gratitude to Richard Walters, a homeless man, who left the Arizona medical program a significant legacy gift as a result of his friendship with one of our volunteer nurses at our Mesa clinic site.

In keeping with our commitment of "bringing the doctor to the people", 2008 will be a year of growth for the Arizona program. We look forward to celebrating our 100,000th free patient medical visit milestone this spring. We are in the planning stages of establishing a new clinic site by mid-year in an underserved pocket of downtown Phoenix and we have begun the process of identifying a new community in the far East or West Valley by early 2009. This expansion would put Mission of Mercy on the road and out in our community four days per week! We trust that you will be faithful in your financial support and your prayers as we continue to offer ourselves as instruments of God's healing to those entrusted to our care.
As we move into our second decade of service, one thing hasn’t changed….Mission of Mercy continues to be a recognized as a innovative “front line” provider of mobile health care services and no cost prescription medications for those in need - people who have fallen through the cracks of a broken health care system.
We thank you for supporting our lifesaving work and ask God's blessing upon you and yours today and always.
Blessings,
Catherine L. Amiot
