ST. JOHN’S MERCY NEIGHBORHOOD MINISTRY

In partnership with community organizations, we connect the economically underserved with appropriate health and social service resources to improve access to care and quality of life.

PARTNERSHIP ACTIVITIES

As a department of St. John’s Mercy Medical Center, the Neighborhood Ministry coordinates bringing health and social services to partnering organizations. This improves access to health care for their low-income/uninsured clients through:

• Mammography screenings
• Blood pressure screenings
• Mental Health screenings and resources
• Diabetes resources:
  • American Diabetes Association
  • Kilo Foundation
• Healthy living tips.

By sharing our health and social service resource lists with partnering organizations, low-income/uninsured clients are easily referred to the safety net programs available in our community:

• Health clinics
• Dental, vision, and pharmacy resources
• Food pantries
• Training and employment services
• Utility and rent assistance
• And more

Support from St. John’s Mercy co-workers and friends of the Neighborhood Ministry allows us to enhance services needed in the community. Efforts may include volunteering, fundraising or organizing collection drives.

• Supportive Activities
• Healthy Food for Collection

OUR TRADITION

Catherine McAuley, foundress of the Sisters of Mercy, connected the rich to the poor, the healthy to the sick, the educated and skilled to the uninstructed, the influential to those of no consequence, the powerful to the weak.

“It is for God we serve the poor, and not for thanks.”
- Catherine McAuley
