Welcome to our Presbyterian Medical Care Mission

Founded in 1983, the Presbyterian Medical Mission serves people who 'fall through the cracks in our society.' They are unable to pay for health insurance, they're not old enough for Medicare and they're not eligible for Medicaid.

The Medical Mission is now a ministry of healing that serves as the primary medical and dental care provider for low-income uninsured families in an area the size of Iowa. The Mission's 6,000 square feet of well-equipped facilities provides a clean professional atmosphere where patients feel comfortable and their dignity is preserved.

To provide these critical services, the Mission employs two physicians and three medical assistants. This five-member team treats an average of 50 patients every weekday in a family practice setting. Several other physicians, specialists and nurses regularly donate time working at the Mission.
