The Case for Mercy

At Mercy, we believe everyone should have access to quality health care regardless of their insurance status. We are fortunate to serve insured and self-pay patients and to receive funding from grants and other federal sources. However, we must raise approximately $1 million a year to provide services to the uninsured in our community. We are so grateful for those that support our mission!

Mission Statement:

To reflect the love and compassion of Jesus Christ by providing excellent healthcare for ALL and support to their families.

Compelled by the grace of God and the biblical mandate to serve our neighbors in “word and deed,” Mercy Community Healthcare is distinct as THE community health center in this region. Opened in 1999 through the efforts of the citizens of Franklin and many in the faith community, Mercy fosters an “everyone is welcome” attitude.

Today, Mercy has more than 165 full- and part–time staff. Each of our physicians is board-certified. Our patients come from more than 30 counties in Tennessee. Why do they come from so far? Great doctors giving great care! In the for-profit medical communities, it is unprofitable to care for the un- and under-insured. Consequently, 67% of Mercy’s patients are uninsured or on TennCare, which is why we need your support.
