Mercy Medicine Clinic is a Christian Clinic dedicated to providing medical care to residents of Florence and Dillon Counties who could not otherwise receive it. We provide consultations, treatment, and services out of Christian love and at no charge, for patients who would not otherwise receive treatment. Mercy Medicine Clinic is a place that blesses people: patients, workers, and volunteers alike.
The Clinic's Mission:
To provide primary medical care and life sustaining medications for the indigent, uninsured, and working poor residents of Florence and Dillon Counties.
Services Provided:
Primary Care
Primary medical care is probably the most visible and vital of all the healthcare services provided by Mercy Medicine Clinic. It consists of addressing many of the more prevalent health conditions that prevail throughout our region such as Diabetes and hypertension. We are fortunate to have a number of trained and dedicated volunteer physicians and nurses who are expert at treating these maladies. Prevention is a key component to everything we do at Mercy Medicine Clinic. Recognition of the onset of such conditions can mean all the difference in avoiding the onset of a potentially debilitating and life-threatening situation.
Dental Chair
Dental Clinic
The many indigent and working poor patients who come to us for dental services are unable to afford the high cost of dental care or the insurance to help pay for it. Dental care at Mercy Medicine Clinic consists primarily of treatment for pain and infection, as well as extractions. We also have recently added dentures to our list of dental services. Mercy Medicine Clinic is just one of four free medical clinics in the state to feature dental care.
Pharmacy
Pharmacy
In addition to its many other functions, Mercy Medicine Clinic also features an onsite non-dispensing pharmacy. Many of the medications provided to our patients are obtained through such channels as Medigap (Medicare Supplemental Insurance) and local pharmacies such as The Medicine Mart. The pharmacy also has the advantage of having access to OS/1 pharmacy management software that allows us to keep track of the many existing medications and how they interact with one another. This enhances our ability to ensure patient safety when a number of prescriptions are being taken at the same time.
Since this is a sliding fee scale clinic, we have provided the Federal Poverty Guidelines below. Visit the Mercy Medicine Clinic website listed above to see what the level is needed for free care.

*Alaska and Hawaii have different rates for HUD federal poverty guidelines.
These numbers above represent 100% of the Federal Poverty Rate. In order to get reduced or free services from some clinics, they use a sliding fee scale based on your income.When they use a sliding fee scale, the 100% rate can be different than 100%. In those cases, using for example a 200% federal poverty level, you will only need double the 100% number listed above to 200%.
