Description
Mission of Mercy is not a typical clinical practice—and this is not a typical clinician role. We serve those often overlooked: the uninsured, underinsured, working poor, and individuals experiencing homelessness. If you are motivated by purpose, service, and restoring dignity through compassionate care, we invite you to read further.
Founded in 1994, Mission of Mercy is an independent 501(c)(3), nonsectarian, faith-based organization delivering free medical, dental, and prescription services at church host sites through mobile clinics across central Maryland and south-central Pennsylvania. Our model relies on a small, dedicated clinical team working alongside volunteer healthcare professionals to meet patients where they are—both physically and emotionally.
The Nurse Practitioner serves on the front lines, providing direct patient care in a mobile primary care setting focused on adults with chronic conditions. Working under the Medical Director and Clinic Director, this role requires more than clinical competence—it calls for adaptability and a deep respect for every patient’s inherent worth.

Order and interpret labs and imaging, including point-of-care testing (A1C, urine drug screens)
Prescribe and manage cost-effective treatment plans using Pharmacy Assistance Programs and retail discount options

Support and mentor volunteer clinicians, helping them integrate into the Mission of Mercy care model
Assist in clinic pharmacy operations as needed
Participate in patient call support on non-clinic days (no evenings/nights or weekends)
