How you can help

PRAY

First and foremost, we ask that you pray for Mercy Health Center and its continued growth and development. The needs are great, and the opportunities for service are endless. In the face of these many needs, we want to remain true to God’s will for this ministry.

Fundraising & Marketing
Medical, Pharmacy & Dental Care
Spanish Interpreting
Administrative Assistance
Emotional & Spiritual Care

If you are interested in volunteering, please send an email with your contact information and availability to volunteer@mercyhealthcenter.net and our volunteer coordinator will contact you.
