Medical Care
Mission of Mercy clinics are set up similar to a private primary care physician's office. We seek to provide a continuum of care, not just emergency or screening services. We are fully equipped to diagnose and treat conditions ranging from acute to chronic illnesses. Like a primary care physician, Mission of Mercy doctors can provide basic care or specialty needs, including:

•Cardiovascular
•Respiratory
•Gastrointestinal
•Genitourinary
•Musculoskeletal
•Skin conditions
•Glandular
•Psychiatric

Prescription Medications
Mission of Mercy dispenses free prescription medications only to those patients who are treated at our clinics. The formulary contains over 225 types of medications and each patient averages two or more free prescriptions per visit. Prescriptions are provided on-site, immediately after treatment.

Patients requiring medications not available in our formulary are assisted by volunteers who register patients for the Pharmacy Assistance Programs offered by the larger pharmaceutical companies. These medications are shipped to Mission of Mercy and dispensed to the patient at no charge. More than $800,000 in medications is recouped annually through these programs.

Over 70% of our patients have one or more chronic illness and depend on Mission of Mercy for long term care. Upon diagnosis of a chronic condition, we schedule regular appointments for the patient so we can effectively monitor their conditions and provide an ongoing supply of needed prescription medications.

Dental Care
Dental care is either altogether unavailable, or is an unaffordable luxury, for most that we serve. Mission of Mercy patients usually arrive at the clinic with significant decay, infection, and pain. Untreated infections are the most serious concern, as they can lead to serious illness or death. Extractions and filings are the remedy for most patients, and healing is usually swift.

Mission of Mercy's dental program is fully mobile; operating with a portable treatment chair, x-ray machine, light, high-speed autoclave, multiple sets of prepackaged instruments, hand tools, compressor, and auxiliary electric generator. Along with fillings and extractions, visits also include a dental exam, x-rays and instruction on proper dental hygiene. When available, toothbrushes and dental floss are also provided.

Health Care Reform Long Before It Was Fashionable

A Mission of Mercy is run by retired doctors, nurses, administrators, business leaders, and those of us committed to doing God's work, and they do it right here in our back yard.
Long before health care reform became a buzzword, this amazing group of individuals took the bull by the horns and quietly Did Something About It!

A Mission of Mercy FCOB


Each year, Mission of Mercy benefits from numerous special events and activities held throughout Maryland and Pennsylvania. They range from Mission of Mercy-hosted events such as our annual Gala and golf classics to volunteer-sponsored events like walk/runs and dinner parties. Although these events differ in size and scope, the funds raised through these special events are critical to our ability to restore dignity to the poor and needy in our local communities. Monies earned through these events aide Mission of Mercy in purchasing medical and dental supplies and providing the uninsured working poor and economically disadvantaged with free medical care by physicians, receive referrals for specialty care, prescription medications, and diagnostic, lab and x-ray services.

We encourage you to support Mission of Mercy by attending the events listed in the calendar below and to support our generous sponsors for making them possible.

A Mission of Mercy helps 24,000 a year

Clinic Hopes Morning Coffee Will Recruit More Volunteers

Reported by: Jackie Cutler Monday, Jun 1, 2009 @05:21pm EST
Source: Your4State.com
FREDERICK, MD - Sometimes a little coffee is all you need to get the day started, so now a non-profit organization is using it as the catalyst to get more people helping the uninsured.

Mission of Mercy may not have planned it when it first started, but its initials spell out MOM, a fitting name for the organization, which has cared for the community for more than 15 years.

"Coffee with MOM" is their latest focus. Members of the community tour to get a first-hand look at the need and how the organization helps people.

The organization sees more than 22,000 people a year. Some patients come to the mission as early as 3:00 or 4:00 a.m. just to be seen at 9:00. However, even though they arrive that early, there's no guarantee that they'll have a spot.

Those who come often don't have health insurance or can't afford it.

With the economic downturn, a new trend is emerging.

"In one day they find out they have no primary care doctor anymore, they have no insurance anymore. They have no way of buying these medications anymore," said Dr. Michael Sullivan, who works with the mission.

The organization is looking to the "Coffee with MOM" events to help make primary care accessible to all.

A Mission of Mercy is located at 22 S. Market St. #6D in Frederick. They can be reached at (301) 682-5683.

I deliver pizza when ever I'm near broke, that is if I have a working (legally tagged) car I do.
Pizza delivery has the benefit of letting you take home some cash that day... when you're near the bottom of the workforce barrel you find waiting the two weeks until you get paid almost impossbile.
This fellow went from getting paid 12 times a year, and getting paid more than enough TO needing to bring milk and bread home TODAY.

A Mission of Mercy needs a volunteer Dentist in the Northern Maryland, Southern Pennsylvania region. Ideal for a retired dentist seeking to do God's Work, A Mission of Mercy does not discriminate, if you're a retired dentist or a practicing dentist they'll take you!

One day per month at the same location, there are many locations to choose from.

So who does A Mission of Mercy Help?

Frederick MD Homeless now off streets

The residents of this tent where sleeping here in the woods off the main view of Frederick county streets. They now are staying at the Alan P. Hinton Cold Weather Shelter run by the Religious Coalition of Frederick Maryland.

This is the demographic that most needs "A Mission of Mercy".

How do I know this?

I had a bunk right next to the person who slept in this tent, that's how.

"You never know... it could be YOU in one of these pictures next year!"
"But for the grace of God, goes I"


A Mission of Mercy needs:

  • A volunteer Dentist a.s.a.p.

  • Cash donations


  • you can donate money to A Mission of Mercy via Facebook and Facebook doesn't take a dime in administration fees

    Restoring Dignity Through Love

    HEALING THROUGH LOVE
    Our mission statement is to restore dignity, "healing
    through love." Although a wide variety of medical and
    dental services for acute and chronic conditions,
    diagnostic studies and procedures both on site and in
    conjunction with area hospitals and clinical specialists,
    and medications are provided FREE of charge to the poor,
    the homeless, the uninsured and underinsured "working poor"
    who are "falling through the cracks" in ever increasing
    numbers; our true product is LOVE, not mere human love, but
    God's LOVE.

    Frederick's "A Mission of Mercy" Restoring dignity
    This can often be expressed in a variety of ways,
    including: the medical and dental care we provide a kind
    look, a gentle touch, a sincere smile, a hug, a
    compassionate tone of voice, or an attentive ear. Since our
    primary product is LOVE and not just medical/dental care,
    then each of our volunteers, whether practitioners,
    pharmacists, nurses, technicians, administrative or
    hospitality workers, are equally able on any given day to
    be God's primary instrument of LOVE for any of those we
    serve. In the same vein, on any given day one of our staff
    or volunteers may be the recipient of God's LOVE through
    the poor we serve.


    A Mission of Mercy visits Frederick MD 4 times each month

    A Mission of Mercy Restored my dignity, I thought I had cancer, I was afraid to go find out, I got fired for being sick!

    Wait till it happens to you...

    I took these photos on my last visit to A Mission of Mercy's free health clinic at the Frederick Church of the Brethren.
