Ceremony scheduled for Nov. 8
CONTRIBUTED TO THE OBSERVER
LEE COUNTY — Mercy Medical Ministry invites the community to a groundbreaking ceremony for its new facility at 325 Dunlop Drive in Opelika on Friday, Nov. 8, at 11:30 a.m.
The event will mark a significant milestone, as Mercy Medical Ministry approaches its 25th year of providing low to no-cost outpatient medical services to those without health insurance. The clinic, located at 1702 Catherine Court, Suite 1A, in Auburn, addresses primary health care needs such as diabetes, hypertension, asthma, heart failure, COPD, thyroid disease and various chronic conditions. Services include wellness screenings, physical exams, post-discharge follow-ups, medication assistance programs and diabetic supplies and education. Mercy Medical also established a network with specialty providers, offering fixed-fee assistance to uninsured patients.
The new facility, which is expected to open in late 2025, will enhance the ministry’s capacity to serve the growing number of uninsured individuals in Lee and surrounding counties, allowing increased patient visits and expanded services. The land for this new building was generously donated by East Alabama Medical Center.
Mercy Medical Ministry is a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization founded by Dr. Dell Crosby, who serves as medical director. For more information, visit mercymedicalministry.org or call (334) 501-1081.
