Maria first started coming to Mission of Mercy about nine years ago when we were a mobile clinic. She suffered from high blood pressure and diabetes. With the help of medication and education, Maria has been able to control both.
“I like the kindness of the nurses and doctors at Mission of Mercy. They explain everything to me about my diagnosis. The doctors have explained how to change my diet to improve my health. Thank you to everybody who donates. Your donations are very helpful to the patients of Mission of Mercy.”
Jose, Maria’s husband, has also been coming to Mission of Mercy for nine years where he was diagnosed with thyroid issues. Once that was under control, he also found out he was diabetic. “All of their attention is marvelous,” when asked what he likes best about the volunteers and staff at Mission of Mercy. “They did one on one education with me about my diabetes and that helped me a lot.”
Jose is grateful for the help that Mission of Mercy provides. To give back, Jose has been taking care of our lawn for about 4 years now which in turn saves Mission of Mercy money, money that can go towards the care of other patients.
