Mercy Clinic

What Mercy Clinic does

Mercy Clinic (legally Mercy Clinic Friends) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization founded in 2011 by Dr. Rebekah Naylor in partnership with Travis Avenue Baptist Church, operating a free medical and dental clinic at 775 W Bowie St in Fort Worth, Texas. The clinic serves uninsured adults residing in three South Fort Worth zip codes (76104, 76110, 76115) who earn less than 200% of the federal poverty level, delivering integrated one-stop care that includes medical exams, well-woman visits, sick visits, dental services (extractions, fillings, root canals, x-rays), on-site blood work, pharmacy dispensing, radiology and specialist referrals, and spiritual counseling. Operating three sessions per week (Tuesday and Thursday evenings, Wednesday afternoons), the clinic is sustained by 45 weekly volunteers drawn from partnerships with TCU Burnett School of Medicine, UNTHSC, and Tarrant County College, and has cumulatively served 10,000+ patients with 12,000+ patient visits and 12,000+ prescriptions filled since founding.

The business model is donation-and-grant funded rather than revenue-generating: all services are provided at no charge to patients, and the clinic does not publicly disclose financial figures. Funding sources include individual donations, church contributions, fundraising events (Shoot for Mercy, Dinner for Mercy), and grants from national organizations such as the National Association of Free and Charitable Clinics (which awarded the NAFC Gold Seal in 2024 and a grant exceeding $32,000) and the Texas Women's Foundation. The on-site pharmacy is stocked primarily through donated medications and supplies from Americares, Direct Relief, and Send Relief, which materially reduces operating costs and creates a dependency on continued in-kind pharmaceutical supply chains.

The organization's go-to-market is community-led rather than commercial: patients are reached through community health worker initiatives, church partnerships, and word-of-mouth within the underserved South Fort Worth population. Governance is provided by a Board of Directors comprising healthcare professionals and business leaders, with Dr. Rebekah Naylor serving as Chairman and Lorena Montalvo as Executive Director. The clinic holds 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status, NAFC Gold Seal certification (2024), TXACC membership, and GuideStar Transparency recognition, and operates exclusively in the U.S. market with no indications of geographic, vertical, or product expansion beyond the current South Fort Worth footprint.
