Catherine McAuley Mercy Foundation

The Catherine McAuley Mercy Foundation (CMMF) provides financial resources to support Mercy Urgent Care’s important work. CMMF, as the fundraising arm for nonprofit Mercy Urgent Care, helps:

• purchase medical equipment for the eight Mercy Urgent Care facilities 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).
• provide financial support in times of crisis, such as the Hurricane Helene disaster.

Below is more information about our four fund options.

Compassionate Care: This fund is our area of greatest need. It helps provide medical care for those who might otherwise not be able to afford it. A portion of every patient visit goes towards the Compassionate Care fund.

Area of Greatest Need: Donations made to this campaign will go towards the area of greatest need. 

MercyMe Memberships: Donations to this fund will help provide annual MercyMe memberships to nonprofit employees and their families in Western North Carolina. Learn more about the MercyMe program.

125 Years of Mercy in the Mountains: Mercy Urgent Care has been an active member of the Western North Carolina community for 125 years, and our mission in the mountains has always remained the same: to provide quality medical services to all who seek care, regardless of an individual’s ability to pay. To honor this commitment to our community, we now offer expanded flexible payment plans, temporary payment deferral plans, increased financial assistance through our Compassionate Care program, and discounts to patients, as-needed.

In celebration of Mercy's 125 years in WNC, please considering making a donation of $125 to our Compassionate Care fund. This will help provide healthcare services to those who may not otherwise be able to afford it on their own.
