physicians, donors and of course our patients, are excited
about our ground breaking in late Summer of 2016 and
ribbon cutting in early Fall of 2017 which will be our 10

This state of the art facility will be designed specifically
with our patients in mind. We will continue providing
patient care through our RV along with this medical
center. We look forward to implementing new programs,
services, and partnerships as we grow into our new
home.

We have recently implemented FileMaker Pro which will help us manage all our
patient files and data in a secure cloud based location. The conversion from
paper and hard copy files to a computer will take some time as we include all
patients in all clinics.
Our volunteers and staff are also learning and using Practice Fusion which is a
software to manage our patient appointment and scheduling needs.

Mission of Mercy Medical Center
Mission of Mercy continues to provide the highest level of free health care and assistance with medications for uninsured and
underinsured patients in the Coastal Bend with our 40 foot mobile medical RV. The Mission of Mercy Medical Center is the next
step in providing continued quality health care and convenience to our patients.
Our sustainability has received a major measure of support from a local benefactor that has agreed to build a state-of-the-art
medical center to house Mission of Mercy. The building will allow more patients to be seen and additional services to be offered.
The facility will include a clinic on the first floor with 8 triage rooms, 8 examination rooms, a waiting room for up to 100
patients, 3 offices, 1 registration area, and more.
Mission of Mercy relies on the generosity of individual donors, corporations, community groups, churches, and
foundations to raise the revenue needed to provide our programs and services. We do not receive any state or federal
government funding. We strive to build strong collaborative and mutually beneficial partnerships with public and
private agencies and community organizations who share our vision.
Commemorative opportunities are appropriate ways to honor beloved family members, friends, or others. The
opportunities listed below are available on a first pledge basis. The suggested minimum gift for a commemoration does
not necessarily reflect the actual cost of that item but it does suggest its significance in accomplishing the goals and
sustainability for the Mission of Mercy Medical Center. Pledge payments up to 4 years are available.
The second floor will include administrative offices, 1 conference room, 1 work room, 1 large classroom, 1 kitchen and more.
$100,000
Waiting Room (1 available)
The medical center will be built on Ayers Street located at Ayers and Baldwin which is next to the Wienerschnitzel Restaurant and
across the street from Del Mar College’s Richardson Auditorium.
