Mercy Medical is a nonprofit medical and dental clinic that was started in 2000 by a local emergency room doctor.  This service provides quality, compassionate care to the thousands of medically underserved of Lee County, AL.  Local physicians, dentists and other volunteers give up their own time on a rotating basis to serve those who have no insurance, Medicare or Medicaid.  Medications, management of chronic health problems as well as referrals to specialists and testing facilities are provided for qualified patients who have no other access to medical care.  Mercy Medical is funded entirely by the generosity of members of the local business community and individuals who see the great and ongoing need of these folks – our neighbors.  The permanent staff consists of a minimum of part time personnel so that all donations may be used to accomplish this mission.  (No federal or state funding is provided.)
