Who We Serve 

While children and the disabled may be eligible for Medicaid or other public assistance, there are many uninsured adults in our community who fall through the cracks of the healthcare system.

Their only access to a physician for even the most common illnesses is often through the local emergency departments. Through financial and volunteer contributions, Medical Outreach Ministries is able to improve access to medical care for these members of our community. M.O.M. provides quality healthcare for almost 1,000 unique patients in approximately 10,000 patient visits each year through the consistent support of more than 80 on-site volunteers, including RNs, pharmacists, clerical volunteers, and thirteen doctors, who volunteer their services each week to care for our patients. Along with the in-house doctors, many area physicians and dentists donate their specialty services as well to M.O.M.’s patients.

M.O.M. patients by the numbers

Baptist Health Systems provides M.O.M.’s patients with reduced fees, largely subsidizing the costs of diagnostic tests to enable us to provide comprehensive healthcare beyond our primary setting.

Because most of our patients cannot afford the cost of buying their own prescriptions, our drug assistance program is equally vital – typically providing over $250,000 in free medications monthly.

Drugs are donated through the patient assistance programs of major pharmaceutical companies such as Johnson and Johnson, Merck, AstraZeneca, and Lilly. M.O.M. participates in the charitable donations programs of Dispensary of Hope, AmeriCares, and Direct Relief to receive additional medications and medical supplies. M.O.M. also purchases many medications to supplement the donations. In some cases, M.O.M. can accept medication donations from the public provided they are unopened and not expired.
