2 Mission & Areas Served Statements Mission Statement Mercy and Truth's mission is to provide health care to the underserved and uninsured of our community. Background Statement Over the past several years Mercy and Truth Medical Missions has served over 24,000 residents of the greater Kansas City area. We have stretched our "thinking" and added more clinics and grown our international department to increase our services to the marginalized and uninsured. We view community involvement and relationships as vital to our success as an organization and key to our sustainability. To date MTMM has established two safety net clinics within the Kansas City Metro area. Both clinics are established to provide health care to clients regardless of their geographic residential location, status in the United States, income, or ability to pay. Our services are comprised of primary care for all ages including specialty services such as women's health, laboratory, acute and chronic illness, pediatrics and preventative health care. In addition to our local efforts, internationally we have sent well over 75 volunteer teams to aid in developing countries. The teams have delivered health care and education to communities that are geographically diverse, ranging from the bush of Africa to the raging waters of the Amazon. Each international team member serves in their health care specialty whether it is nursing, midwifery, primary medicine, or non-medical professionals. Impact Statement Mercy and Truth continues to faithfully serve the uninsured and under-served of our community in the Kansas City metropolitan area and in various countries around the world. Last year, our clinics in Kansas City, Kansas and Shawnee Kansas served over 3,100 patients with over 24,000 patient visits. Approximately 68 % were uninsured and 32% had Kansas Medicaid. Mercy and Truth had a 20% increase in number of patients served in 2014 compared to 2013 and in the first half of 2016 we have increased our patient count over 130% versus the same time period in Mercy and Truth added a full time physician to the staff which expanded our service hours. Dr. Alex Kieu is building relationships with our patients and forming partnerships with other organizations. At the start of 2016, we opened up with newly renovated facilities in Kansas City, Kansas. These renovations were funded by individual donations and we now have a state-of the art facility and examination rooms. Top 3 accomplishments for 2016: Hired first full time physician at Kansas City Kansas Clinic. Completed renovations of Kansas City Kansas clinic that allowed for increased services and increased patient visits. Built strong referral and relationships with other organizations in Wyandotte County. Top 3 Goals for 2017: 15% increase in number of clients served in Wyandotte and Johnson County Expand Johnson County Clinic facilities to keep up with anticipated growth. Increase strategic collaborations with other community organizations to facilitate referrals and better service for our clients. Needs Statement Mercy & Truth Medical Missions has identified 5 priority needs to improve our organization and our service to our community and world. 1.Financial operating support of primary care clinics to offset the "inability to pay" clientele. 2.Funding for another full time medical provider at the Kansas City, KS clinic facility. 3.Passionate staff interested in serving marginalized populations in Kansas City. 4.Funding to aid the high volume of unemployed who still need health care. 5. Funding for an International Outreach Scholarship to assist medical professionals interested in travel but are unable to serve due to financial difficulties. CEO/Executive Director/Board Chair Statement Mercy and Truth is thrilled to have a newly renovated clinic in Kansas City Kansas where we can serve more patients and serve them more efficiently.

4 Programs Programs Core Operation Expense Description Category This project addresses the fine balance of core operating expenses of the safety net clinic sustainability while providing health care to povertystricken communities and to those who cannot afford health care insurance. Safety Net clinics serve uninsured or underserved clients. Clinics that offer low cost, affordable health care with a sliding scale for those who fall at or below the federal poverty guidelines for income. Services provided at the clinics include primary care for all ages, full service laboratory, immunizations, and vaccines for children program, acute and chronic care, and preventative health care in education and client evaluations. Our specialty services include women s health, pediatrics, and diabetes. The cleints inability to pay for needed health care services is not only faced in our current economic downfall but as a growing national concern in Amercia. Tough times not only for clients but also the health care sector. Decreasing revenues due to reduced state and national funding, clientele inability to pay and decrease general support make it increasingly difficult to complete core operations successfully.

7 Provision of Services to Resettled Refugees Description Category As part of our local services, Mercy and Truth Medical Missions works to assist resettled refugees who have suffered unimaginable pains due to ethnic strife, religious persecution, and economic disparities by providing medical services in a welcoming and culturally appropriate way. We work in partnership with Catholic Charities to provide initial physical screenings to resettled refugee populations, as mandated by state and national principalities. Mercy and Truth recognize that the need for services directed towards resettled refugees is great in the heart of our city. It has been estimated that approximately refugees are resettled in Kansas City, KS annually. The vast majority of these refugees migrated from Burma, Bhutan, and Somalia, followed closely by Iraq and Vietnam. To accommodate the extensive differences of ethnicities and cultures, we work with certified medical interpreters to ensure the care we provide is equitable to all our clients and culturally appropriate. As Mercy and Truth continues to grow, our intent is to increase our preventative and primary care services to refugee and immigrant populations.

Organization Comments SUSTAINABILITY: Based on Mercy and Truth Medical Mission s model of providing affordable health care - we have tremendous confidence in our long-term sustainability. Our projects have been completely sustainable, keeping administration costs well below 10% of overall budget. Any requests for funds have been for special projects needs and start-up funds to purchase additional properties, equipment, and services. Having a fee for service, accepting Kansas Medicaid, and in future adding Medicare and private insurance will help us maintain our project ongoing without the aid of additional grants or funding requests. We plan to continue to utilize the tremendous resources available to us as a non-profit organization, specifically volunteer support and in-kind services, in order to keep our costs to a minimal level. Partnerships with outside organizations in providing inkind gifts, volunteers and other foundations has demonstrated that our work at MTMM is sustainable, ongoing, and growing. We strongly believe that MTMM clinics will be hope to the hopeless here with the urban and suburban core of our city. 14
