We are our patients’ partner in health.
We provide:

Mercy Health Clinic’s health education program is led by a physician and certified nutritionist. They teach classes for patients and conduct individual nutrition counseling sessions at the Clinic.The goal is to change lifestyles and help patients manage their chronic diseases through exercise, diet, and medication.
