Her husband was also out of work and they scraped together their last $80 to get a doctor\u2019s appointment with the hope of helping her qualify for disability.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe physician there wouldn\u2019t even shake my hand. He treated me like a leper,\u201d Lee Ann recalls.<\/p>\n<p>At that appointment, she learned she had high blood pressure and was given a prescription for a 30-day supply of medication. But the doctor wouldn\u2019t help her unless she could pay for yet another appointment to come back in a month. And with no income at the time, she simply couldn\u2019t afford it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was so upset after that visit. I thought, \u2018Am I going to die because I can\u2019t afford the blood pressure medication that I need?\u2019,\u201d Lee Ann says. \u201cSo my husband got online and somehow he found out about Mission of Mercy.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>A Mission to Restore Dignity<\/h4>\n<p>As a Mission of Mercy patient since 2011, Lee Ann has been treated for high blood pressure, asthma, <a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/diseases\/15134-impetigo\">impetigo<\/a>, and a few cases of pneumonia and other illnesses over the years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can confidently say Mission of Mercy saved my life a number of times,\u201d Lee Ann says. \u201cAnd their care is far superior to anything I\u2019ve ever received before in the medical world where you\u2019re treated as just another number.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Recently, Lee Ann turned 65 and became eligible for Medicare. Mission of Mercy is helping her with that transition, ensuring she doesn\u2019t miss any prescription refills in the interim.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is not enough money in the world that I could give to Mission of Mercy. I\u2019ve been blessed with the most compassionate, personal care, and I don\u2019t want to leave,\u201d Lee Ann says. \u201cEveryone at the clinic is a godsend, and they fill a great need within our community by serving anyone who needs their help.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Lee Ann Frade lost her job in 2010 and was on crutches due to a work-related injury, she found it impossible to find a new job.
