Looking back over this past year, most of us at Mercy Care would agree that it’s been a colorful, fast-paced
year, full of questions and exciting changes. 2014 began with an official name change to Mercy Care. To
select and implement a new brand mark and community engagement strategy, we needed to look closely
at ourselves, our purpose and our community. It was good preparation for focusing with new eyes on our
patient population. Poverty, population health and access to care were front and center in the minds of
the community and media; from radio and television interviews, Atlanta Journal Constitution articles,
legislative meetings and our own Healthcare for the Poor panels, Mercy Care staff, boards, volunteers,
donors and our clients furthered the discussions about how to bring about desperately needed access to
care. All shared their experiences and their expertise with widely diverse audiences.
Our 30-year anniversary is upon us. It makes us recall with gratitude the invaluable trusted relationships
with many community partners and the richness of our shared efforts and accomplishments over time.
The Atlanta Safety Net Collaborative, comprised of area Federally Qualified Health Centers and Grady,
was one of five cities chosen to participate in a national pilot program to improve best practices. What an
honor. And Mercy Care worked with The Imperial to form a health-home continuum of care model. These
and other innovative initiatives you’ll read about in this report describe a growing culture of engagement
wherein vulnerable persons are brought from the margins to the center and, as Pope Francis calls us to do,
“place them high on our agendas, not as an afterthought or an add-on.”
Inside Mercy Care collaborative efforts took place too. Staff rolled up their sleeves and got fully behind
projects that will have longstanding impact. Together we achieved Patient Centered Medical Home
recognition in our clinics and we received $2 million in Federal grant funding to help many more persons
by integrating behavioral health and HIV testing into our clinical services. And our ACA navigators helped
more than 5,000 people and enrolled more than
1,000 in new healthcare plans.
As we live through all this activity and progress
we are reminded every day of those who are
close at hand, in need of healing, and we want
to heed the parable of the Good Samaritan, to
answer the call to go and do likewise. Sometimes
it simply means just crossing the street and
reaching out.

as quickly as possible.”

1,030patients received restorative services
96%of homeless children in America have never been seen by a dentist
VisionAmong homeless and other underserved populations, shelter, food and emergency health care take precedence over routine care. Without access to affordable, quality vision care, these individuals are at greater risk for debilitating, life-altering conditions.
Mercy Care’s Vision Program is staffed by a part-time optometrist and a part-time ophthalmic tech. The team conducts vision screenings, glaucoma screenings, and eye exams. Patients are referred for low-cost prescription eyeglasses. Patients with diabetes, or at risk for diabetes, receive education on proper eye care and the importance of annual follow-up.
Monthly outreach vision clinics target hard-to-reach homeless and underserved clients. Grant Support• Mary E. Haverty Foundation• Ida A. Ryan Charitable Trust
328clients received prescription eyewear
Patient-Centered Medical Home Recognition
People come to Mercy Care initially because of what we do. They return because they are touched by how we do it. As a Patient-Centered Medical Home (designation by the National Committee for Quality Assurance), Mercy Care is maximizing resources to focus on treating the whole person: body, mind and spirit. Using the “medical home” model, clinicians ease patients’ worry over access to care, chronic disease management and behavioral health concerns. Caring for the whole person is always at the heart of our mission.
Mercy Care was ranked in the highest adjusted quartile for clinical performance of health centers nationwide for outcomes related to:

lifestyle. Homeless patients hardly have
a chance. Our doctors have to adapt to the reality of their lives.

there is less salt.”

As Georgia makes gains and moves from a system rated among the worst in the nation toward community-based care, the increasing demand for services continues, with appointment wait times in excess of three months. For homeless and uninsured persons, the system is especially difficult to navigate.
Mercy Care’s behavioral health team has fully integrated behavioral health into the clinical practice. The process begins with a screening tool to assess patients’ behavioral health concerns. If potential issues are identified, patients are at once referred to a Behavioral Health Specialist for further assessment and development of a treatment plan. Regular follow-ups facilitate overall progress toward goals.
Case managers are available to address homeless patients’ needs for housing, job referrals and benefits assistance.

Supportive Services for Veterans and their Families (SSVF)
More than 190 homeless veterans were reached through special early morning outreach efforts in collaboration with the VA.
Case Management and PATH Services
Any homeless individual (or persons at immediate risk of homelessness) who has a suspected mental illness is considered for enrollment into Case Management. A Mental Health Specialist conducts an eligibility screening and needs assessment interview. An Individualized Recovery Plan (IRP )is developed, with objectives built on the client’s strengths and abilities, in an effort to promote success. Clients are contacted weekly to ensure progress.
Case Management services take place at community-based sites easily accessible to homeless persons: Atlanta Enterprise Center, St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, The Gateway Center, City of Refuge and Intown Ministries.
Mercy Care case managers and substance abuse counselors work closely, referring individuals for counseling and/or treatment. Mercy Care currently has agreements with ten local substance abuse providers to provide residential treatment services. Some grants fund up to two months of treatment. A Substance Abuse Specialist follows up regularly with the referral agency.
Quest35 and United Methodist Children’s Home assist Mercy Care with clients’ housing needs. Each sets aside beds for Mercy Care clients, while Mercy Care provides the clients’ case management services.

Funded with a HRSA Outreach and Enrollment grant in 2013, the funding allowed the agency to hire three full time certified application counselors to help individuals enroll in the Health Insurance Exchange marketplace. The program flourished in 2014, with navigators assisting over 6,418 people and enrolling 1,146 in Medicaid or other healthcare plans.

Street Medicine
The Street Medicine Program is a natural extension of Mercy Care’s daytime outreach and clinical efforts. This medical outreach patrol meets need where it lives, making weekly nighttime rounds of “tent cities” or encampments, under bridges, parks, or abandoned lots. Medical and behavioral health care is welcomed and delivered on the spot by a volunteer MD a psychiatrist, a registered nurse, and a peer specialist, along with HealthSTAT student volunteers. Early statistics show a positive trend of patients coming into our clinics for a full range of care. The next enhancement for this program is telemedicine. A great opportunity for volunteeer dermatologists, psychologists and podiatrists, for starters.

Advocacy
Mercy Care strives to witness to the truth that “Catholic health care should distinguish itself by service to and advocacy for those people whose social condition puts them at the margins of our society and makes them particularly vulnerable to discrimination.” We believe that health care is a human right and each person should have a voice in matters affecting their lives and care.
Mercy Care’s 2014 advocacy efforts included: hosting and participating in public policy panels, working with the Cover Georgia Coalition and Georgians for a Healthy Future on coverage and access issues, petitioning State and Federal representatives and adding to the public record at the Georgia State Capital.
Client Advisory CommitteeMercy Care’s Client Advisory Committee gathers and assesses information and reports its recommendations at Mercy Care Board meetings. In turn, management uses this input to improve upon and/or implement needed services.

Community Relations
Mercy Care works to make a positive difference not only in the lives of each client but also in the well-being of our city. By sharing our unique expertise and collaborating with other service-driven organizations we can contribute to a true transformation.
Mercy Care is a member of the Atlanta Safety Net Collaborative, a group of providers committed to coordination of care for indigent patients. We also participate in the Atlanta Regional Collaborative for Health Improvement, the Georgia Prisoner Re-entry Initiative, the Mayor’s Unsheltered No More Initiative, and the Atlanta Regional Commission on Homelessness.
Cooperating with other Atlanta agencies keeps the saftey net strongHomeless Provider NetworkThe HPN Committee is a tightly knit group meeting monthly to discuss ongoing service challenges, establish reciprocal relationships and brief each other on new initiatives. As the only Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) in Atlanta with a Healthcare for the Homeless designation, Mercy Care has accrued a great deal of information on population health and community engagement. Agencies use a community assessment tool to identify critical needs and help them allocate resources across the counties that make up Metro Atlanta.
Prison Reentry InitiativeThe GA-PRI is a state wide program coordinated through the Governor’s Office of Transition, Support and Reentry modeled after programs in other states. Mercy Care is the healthcare representative, educating the committee on understanding the healthcare assets needed to support this population. Mercy Care along with Grady Memorial Hospital and other Federally Qualified Health Centers make up the medical safety-net for the metro region.
“I know this approach will make adifference. It’s the first time that abroad group of community basedorganizations are collaborating toprovide critical resources to returningcitizens from prison,” states Ken Prince, Mercy Care’s Community Relations and Program Development Director. “The program will empower individuals to be productive citizens in Georgia and drastically reduce therecidivism rate.”

Adult Day Health
“Come in, and welcome!” Words can touch as tenderly as caring hands. The staff at Mercy Care’s Adult Day Health (ADH) center employ both. Participants in this safe, attractive, and comfortable environment need the support Mercy Care offers during the day to allow them to remain living at home. Directed by registered nurses, the staff provide essential services including transportation, nutritious meals, vital health monitoring and education, engaging social and recreational activities, and transportation to medical appointments. An additional benefit is that it offers respite and security to the caregivers who are part of the “care team” for these treasured seniors.
There’s a place in Rome, Georgia where age is honored and support is delivered with loving kindness. It is in this place that Mercy Care staff come daily, ready to enrich and engage clients in compassionate ways, with educational and supportive service that help generations to connect and strengthen individuals, families and community.
Mercy Care’s four programs celebrate and serve older adults as they strive to remain independent, resume the role of parenting for their grandchildren, become caregivers to aging parents, or prepare to enter or re-enter the workforce.

Grands Who Care
2.4 million grandparents are raising grandchildren in America today.* The responsibility may come suddenly or arrive gradually, but for any grandparent taking up parenting again it can be confusing and overwhelming. Mercy Care is privileged to have an outstanding program to support this growing population. Services available to this group of caregivers, including those raising a disabled child, include informal counseling, referrals to essential services, mentoring, support groups, recreational activities, and health management. The program helps grandparents gain comfort through knowledgeable support as they gain their footing in this unanticipated role.

Caregiver Support
More stressful than child rearing or our own aging process is prolonged caregiving for an aging or ailing loved one. Our informal lunch seminars offer companionable support, friendly encouragement, and useful connections to community resources for families filling this invaluable role. Monthly gatherings include peer support to bolster resiliency, education to empower, and social connection to nurture well-being.
Senior Employment
It’s more of a challenge to find meaningful work when you’re “of a certain age” than it is when you’re younger. Our clients often feel lucky to have found us. We have a program that provides comprehensive assistance to older adults entering or re-entering the workforce. Services to low-income persons age 55+ include work readiness, skills development, supportive job placement and assistance transitioning to competitive employment.

MERCY CARE FOUNDATION
With a renewed focus in raising awareness and financial support for Mercy Care, the Mercy Care Foundation and WINGS for Mercy Care raised $1,604,558 in Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2013 and $10,882,179 in Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2014. These generous contributions directly impacted the many programs in the Saint Joseph’s Health System which advance the ministry of the Sisters of Mercy by providing excellent healthcare to poor and marginalized persons. Donor contributions were essential in filling the fiscal gap in this care and extended a lifeline to many in desperate need of dignity, independence and hope. We are truly grateful to our donors, volunteers and staff for partnering with Mercy Care to provide “Hope in Healing.”
MERCY CARE FOUNDATION RAISED $12,486,737 FROM JANUARY 1, 2013 TO JUNE 30, 2014.

ABOVE: Volunteers from Morris Manning and Martin, LLP at Breakfast with Santa event at Mercy Care at City of Refuge; Dancing to the music of the Del Baroni Orchestra; The Alterman Family at the 25th Annual Wings of Mercy Ball.
I have never seen an organization like Mercy Care that ‘lives its mission’ every day. Whether it is through clinics,
behavioral health, vouchers, case management, other agency alliances, mobile coaches, etc. These folks are giving back every single day to those who need it the
most. Mercy Care’s work over the last 30 years qualifies it for our generous, continuing support.
Frank Craft, SJHS Board Member
Note: Mercy Care Foundation staff positions are fully funded by an endowment. 100% of contributions are directed toward supporting Mercy Care.

There are rare instances in life where we encounter a stranger and change their life. It may last
only five minutes or a lifetime, but our personal expression of caring
and compassion changed the course of that person’s life for the better. This is the work of Mercy Care. Each day, each encounter, removes vulnerability and illness
and provides empowerment, gratitude and healing that is
transformative.
