Why Mercy Care “We don’t turn anyone away.” In these words, a member of Mercy Care's outreach team captured the philosophy of the Sisters of Mercy—embrace everyone in need. This sentiment drives the mission, vision and daily work of Mercy Care.

After the Civil War, four pioneering Sisters of Mercy came from Savannah to Atlanta and established Saint Joseph’s Hospital. When Saint Joseph’s relocated to the Atlanta suburbs a century later, volunteer physicians, nurses and other hospital staff took to the streets of downtown Atlanta and used their healing skills to serve those most vulnerable. In this compassionate and inspiring mission were the seeds of today's Mercy Care.

In 2012, Saint Joseph’s Hospital became Emory Saint Joseph’s Hospital and Mercy Care remained under Saint Joseph's Health System. At the point of this transition, the resources and energies of Saint Joseph’s Health System went into the Mercy mission of service to the poor.

In the past decade, wonderful things have happened. Mercy Care has grown in all respects, meeting new patient and community needs as well as space needs. In 2017, we built a beautiful clinic in Chamblee to serve the large and growing Hispanic community. In 2022, we renovated and expanded the Decatur Street clinic while still serving our patient population.

Our Commitment Rooted in our Mission and Core Values, we honor the dignity of every person and recognize the unique perspectives, experiences, and talents each colleague brings. By finding common ground and embracing our differences, we grow stronger together and deliver more compassionate, person-centered care. We are an Equal Opportunity Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, veteran status, or any other status protected by federal, state, or local law.
