Serving Atlanta Since 1985
The Sisters of Mercy have cared for people in the South for more than 150 years. During the Civil War, even President Abraham Lincoln thanked them for their compassion. In 1880 they opened Atlanta’s first hospital, later called Saint Joseph’s. Mercy Care became a nonprofit in 1985 and, in 2001, opened our clinic and headquarters on Decatur Street in downtown Atlanta.

Mercy Care is celebrating 40 years of compassionate care.
2025 marks Mercy Care’s 40th year of providing compassionate care to those in our community who need it most. Throughout those years, we remained steadfast to the Sisters of Mercy mode of care, which is to go where healthcare is most needed. What we have learned through decades of serving Atlanta’s most vulnerable is that access to care is just the start of our client’s journey towards good health.
