The Need

As the population in Texas has undergone explosive growth and inflation and interest rates have sky-rocketed, we have watched our affordable housing crisis intensify and seen our grocery and gasoline bills double and triple. Unsurprisingly, the cost of healthcare services and prescription medications have also continued to rise, increasing by 6% last year while prescription medication saw up to an 18% increase in cost. As it becomes more expensive to live, healthcare has become even less accessible to those who struggle without insurance and without means. No one goes to the doctor when they are struggling to keep jobs, homes, and food on the table.

For over 25 years, Mission of Mercy in Arizona has been bringing the doctor to the people by embedding our 6 free mobile primary care clinics into communities where access to healthcare for marginalized communities is low. We provide primary and continuing medical care to the uninsured and underinsured and strive to provide every patient with a dignified and compassionate healthcare experience. 

Our patient demographic is 78% Hispanic/LatinX, 63% female and 87% of Mission of Mercy AZ patients suffering from chronic conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, receiving an average of more than 2 prescription medications per medical visit.
