Mission
Sisters of Mercy Urgent Care, Inc. exists to provide cost-effective quality-oriented health care to the residents, businesses and industries of North Carolina, adhering to the core values of the Sisters of Mercy, which are: sacredness of life, dignity of the individual, justice, mercy, service and excellence.

Overview
The Sisters of Mercy have served the healthcare needs of the people of Western North Carolina since their arrival in Asheville in 1900. Today, we provide the people of Asheville, Buncombe County and surrounding counties with medical care and physical therapy at our not-for-profit facilities. To date, we have served more than a million patients in the WNC region.

The five Sisters of Mercy Urgent Care Centers provide evaluation and treatment of injuries and illnesses of a non-life-threatening nature to the general public on a walk-in basis. Our centers also provide medical care to the employees of over 70 percent of all businesses and industries in Buncombe County.

Our organization also takes health care directly into the workplace and correctional institutions through Health Designs, our occupational medicine division.
