Mercy Health Center

Mercy exists as an extension of the local Christian community and seeks to be an avenue of ministry for area churches.

For two years, this tiny group continued to pray about their vision, and as they did so, their group expanded. On September 10, 2001, Mercy opened with a prayer, and volunteers started to care for the medical, emotional, spiritual.
