Who We Are...
He saw the crowds, He had compassion on them because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
Matthew 9:36
Mercy Clinic was founded in 2011 to show Christ's love and compassion by providing free health care, spiritual care, and assistance in self-help to the underserved population south Fort Worth.
Our patients are uninsured adults residing in the 76110 and 76104 zip codes in Fort Worth, TX. Mercy Clinic provides wellness checkups, well-woman visits, sick visits, dentistry extractions and fillings, and limited laboratory and prescription services. Thanks to the support of our volunteers and financial partners, in 2019, Mercy Clinic expanded services to three clinics per week, Tuesday and Thursday evenings and Wednesday afternoons.
To fulfill its mission, Mercy Clinic enlists over 140 volunteers who provide healthcare, office support, security, and translation services to help meet the needs of our patients.
Dr. Rebekah Naylor
The idea for a south Fort Worth Mercy Clinic emerged when the needs of the 76110 community encountered the tenacity and experience of Dr. Rebekah Naylor. Dr. Naylor, a graduate of Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, spent over 35 years serving with the Bangalore Baptist Hospital in Bangalore, India as surgeon, chief of medical staff, administrator and medical superintendent, and associate medical superintendent.
Dr. Naylor returned to North Texas in 2009 only to be confronted by the needs of the underserved at home. Partnering with Travis Avenue Baptist Church in Fort Worth, TX, Dr. Naylor drew upon her experience as founder and director of multiple medical programs internationally to guide a group of dedicated volunteers in establishing Mercy Clinic Fort Worth in 2011.
In 2017, Dr. Naylor was named the American College of Surgeons /Pfizer Lifetime Humanitarian awardee.
Dr. Naylor has also been honored as Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary's Distinguished Professor or Missions and one of Fort Worth Business Press's 2018 Healthcare Heroes.
