About Us - Mercy Care

Our name is Mercy. Our spirit is compassion.

We strive to be no less than our name. Mercy Care can be described in many ways with many words, but our soul is best known through personal encounter. Ask a patient, client, staff member, board member or volunteer about Mercy Care. Better still, come see for yourself. Experience our values at work—compassion, commitment to the poor, excellence, integrity, justice, stewardship and reverence for the dignity of each person. We give people hope where before there was no hope. Maybe that’s the best medicine of all.

A federally qualified health center and Atlanta’s only healthcare for the homeless program (330h), Mercy Care accepts most insurances plans, Medicare and Medicaid and offers a sliding fee scale based on household income for the uninsured.

Mercy Care is a member of Saint Joseph’s Health System and Trinity Health.
