    Their Employers do not provide health insurance and they make a little too much to qualify for government assistance


    For these patients, the care they receive at Mission of Mercy brings hope for the future.

    Many had given up, going without health care for years, (this actually fits my situation and how I came to learn about Mission of Mercy... I endured the pain until it interfered with my job and I began to get fired... fired for being sick) causing their illness to take over their lives.

    For others, the choice between obtaining health care for a family member and putting food on the table is no longer a choice they have to make...

    Go to a clinic, there is a new "Coffee with Mom" at the Frederick Clinics.

    See the tour, see the relief on the patients faces... like I did, I saw them from the perspective of being one of them!

    How does Mission of Mercy do that?

    Via a Mobile Medical Clinics

    That's right Mission of Mercy has an RV outfitted as a health care/ dental care clinic.

    What makes Mission of Mercy different?

    Over fourteen years ago, Dr Gianna Talone-Sullivan answered a spritual call to make the restoration of dignity and healing through Love her "Mission".

    Gianna's future husband, Dr Michael Sullivan, was a former US Army doctor. And he was the first person to answer Mission of Mercy's newspaper ad for Volunteer Doctors.

    Dr. Sullivan served on his own "mission" of sorts, he served in Bosnia during his tour of duty as an Army Doctor.

    Volunteer Doctors and Dentists are asked to serve ONE day a month, at the same location, usually a local church.
