Our Mission
Our mission is to provide free surgical, medical, dental, and vision services to the underprivileged, globally.
The relief of pain and treatment of illness, with a concern for the dignity and well being of others, are our utmost priority.
Our History
Formerly known as PAMMMWDCI, the Medical Mission of Mercy USA is dedicated to making a difference by providing to those in need with medical, dental and surgical treatments. Our main concern is to provide comfort, to relieve pain and illness, and to improve the well being of others.
As an all-volunteer group, we provide free medical services during our annual medical missions. Since 2001, the organization conducted medical missions in many of the provinces of the Philippines, including Batangas, Nueva Ecija, Palawan, Pampanga, Tarmac, Romblon, Mariduque and Zambales. In 2017 we began annual missions in rural Guatemala which have grown to become full surgical missions in parternship with the national hospital in Huehuetenango.
Every year, our missions serve from 1500 to 3000 patients. We work closely with local medical practitioners by hosting continuing medical education seminars and hands-on training for local medical residents, nursing students, and resident physicians.

Our Finances
MMOM USA is proud to be a 501 (c)3 non-profit organization. Our volunteers pay their own way (food, lodging, and transportation) on missions, allowing donations and fundraising proceeds to be used to pay the cost of medications, supplies, equipment and logistics. We are extremely efficient, applying almost 90% of proceeds to programs (missions).
Our Services
We provide both medical and surgical services to those we serve with the dedicated and skilled work of our medical volunteers. We are proud to provide a large breadth of key medical and surgical services. Over the past 15 years, we have provided services, such as:
​
Medical/Surgical – Cleft lip and palate surgery, plastic/maxillofacial/reconstructive surgery, general surgery, OB-GYN surgery, Pediatrics, dermatology, wound care and internal medicine.
​
Dental - Extractions, fillings, root canals, prosthesis extractions, and cleaning. The dental team also works with local volunteers to offer oral hygiene education to schools and local families.
​
Optometry – Our eye team performs eye exams, cataract screening, and provides prescription glasses.
​
