Mission of Mercy Arizona Health Partnership Fund

Mission of Mercy Arizona (MOM) restores dignity and heals through love by providing free primary healthcare, medication and patient education to working poor and uninsured Arizonans.

Over the past 25 years, Mission of Mercy Arizona has served more than 57,000 unique patients, providing 300,000 free medical visits and 500,000 free prescription medications. Serving in high-need areas throughout Maricopa County, MOM now operates six regular weekly and bi-weekly clinics. Our clinics are 95% volunteer staffed with licensed medical doctors, nurses, medical interpreters and other professionals, and serve up to 60 patients per day at more than 200 clinic days annually.

More than 90% of the patients who visit a MOM clinic have one or more chronic condition with the top three conditions being hypertension, diabetes and high cholesterol. Chronic conditions require routine medical care and patient education to prevent more serious health situations, including early death.

Every $100 donated pays for a patient medical visit, including labs and medication. MOM’s patients are never asked to pay anything or to prove their poverty in order to get the healthcare they need.

Your Arizona charitable tax credit donation of $400 (individual) or $800 (married filing jointly) will provide medical care in a compassionate setting for our neighbors who need it most.
