True to our mission, Mercy Medical Center is meeting the needs of caregivers in the community through the area's only comprehensive Family Caregivers Center. It is an essential resource for family caregivers throughout Eastern Iowa. Caregivers are referred by medical or human service professionals or by friends and other caregivers. Caregivers may self refer. Staff and trained volunteers will provide an initial assessment, create a plan to connect to the appropriate services, and follow up on a regular basis. We keep the connection open as long as the caregiver wishes.
