The Catherine McAuley MERCY Foundation provides financial resources to support Mercy Urgent Care’s important work. The MERCY Foundation, as the fundraising arm for nonprofit Mercy Urgent Care, helps:
- purchase medical equipment for the eight Mercy Urgent Care facilities (four in Buncombe County, one in Brevard, Burnsville, Columbus and Waynesville) so that the healthcare provided to patients utilizes current technology, making the care provided high quality yet affordable.
- fund the Mercy Urgent Care Compassionate Care Program, which assists patients without the financial means to pay (the program covers more than half a million dollars in undercompensated care each year).
From 2010 to 2021, the Foundation also supported numerous international relief missions, providing medical care and supplies to regions devastated by natural disasters. During this 12 year period, Team Mercy sent volunteers on 29 missions to Haiti and one mission to the Philippines.
In 2016, Mercy Urgent Care received the Urgent Care Association of America’s prestigious Humanitarian Award for its substantial volunteer contributions in the medical field that had a positive impact an international cause.
