Mission of Mercy Turned 12!

On September 17, 2019 we celebrated our 12th birthday. We celebrated the day with cake and cupcakes and giving tours of our Medical Center. We deeply appreciate all of the wonderful birthday messages and those who stopped by to say hello!

Lynette Navar, RN Nursing Director has been with Mission of Mercy since the first clinic day held on September 17, 2007. Click HERE to hear Lynette share her memory of Mission of Mercy's very first clinic.

Remaining Mobile...

Our compassionate quality care for our patients also includes assisting the uninsured in the rural areas of Sandia, Texas. Medical care in the rural areas is extremely limited. It is vital that Mission of Mercy remain mobile in assisting our patients who may have transportation challenges.

We continue to partner with the Knolle Jersey Farm as they provide a small building for our use. Every other Wednesday, our nurses and volunteers transport medical supplies, medications, and patient files to our small but successful Country Clinic! We are grateful for the care that Dr. John Pettigrove and other physicians provide as they donate their time. Our rural patients receive the personal one-on-one care they need as we help restore their dignity.

Mark Your Calendars for this Year's Coastal Bend Day of Giving!

On Tuesday, November 12, 2019 the Coastal Bend Community Foundation will hold a 24 hour online opportunity to raise funds for nonprofits who are at the front lines of assisting the neediest of our Coastal Bend neighbors. This community “give-together” starts at midnight with a minimum of only $10.

Each of the participating nonprofits is eligible for a matching gift of $19,000, enabling them to at least double their match on the day.

Mission of Mercy is honored to have been chosen once again to participate in this annual event.

Help us reach our goal of $80,000!

Last year with your help we raised over $72,000 and with your support

we hope to surpass that amount this year! We hope that you will help Mission of Mercy raise the much needed funds to continue our mission of “Healing through LOVE.”

New Partnerships...

During our last fiscal year July 1, 2018—June 30, 2019, Mission of Mercy served 1,896 patients. We have numerous volunteers that come to us through various ways. Recently we have partnered with University of Texas Health San Antonio School of Nursing South Texas , Texas A&M University Corpus Christi College of Nursing and Health Science, and University of the Incarnate Word Ila Faye Miller School of Nursing & Health Professions. Individuals who are seeking a Bachelors or Masters Degree in Nursing are able to do their clinical hours at Mission of Mercy.

This partnership is two fold, as Mission of Mercy continues to grow we need more nurses to serve our patients. As universities are teaching these nurses, it is a interictal part of their learning to come to a place like Mission of Mercy to see first hand what community outreach is and really understand the significant problems in healthcare. It also introduces the students to the various collaborations and organizations out there that can further help the patient.

“They help us a lot by supplying us with more nursing help in the clinic and we supply them significantly with their learning.” says Nursing Director, Lynette Navar. “There is a big difference between going to a hospital and learning and going out into the community to find out what the real needs are particularly amongst our region. We have significant number of people with no insurance and nobody really realizes how difficult it is to get healthcare.”
