About

The Mercy and Wisdom Community Health Clinic is a non-profit (501c 3) organization formed to provide health care to the Portland community, especially for those who cannot afford traditional health care. Mercy and Wisdom also serves as an educational institute to teach the public how to achieve and maintain health physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

We are a member of the Coalition of Community Health Clinics (coalitionclinics.org) serving the health care needs of Portland.

Our directors, managers and physicians at Mercy and Wisdom are highly experienced in their fields. They serve on a volunteer basis.

Mercy and Wisdom serves as a clinical training site for senior medical interns in order to fulfill their academic requirements for doctorates or masters degrees. Contact us for more information or to apply as an intern.

The National College of Naturopathic Medicine (ncnm.edu) and the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine (ocom.edu) provide supervising faculty and supplies for interns.

Mission/values

Our mission is helping low income and underinsured people to achieve health through integrative medical care and education.

We follow the six principles of natural medicine:

• The healing power of nature
• Remove the cause of disease
• First do no harm
• Treat the whole person
• The physician is a teacher
• Prevention is the best cure

“ I have been coming here for a little over two years and the quality of life and overall improvements I have received from the treatments are beyond words. I went from being unable to walk without assistance to complete independence. I am looking forward to being able to go back to work eventually. ”
