Dental Hygienist

At Mercy Care, healthcare is more than a profession - it is a calling. For more than 40 years, Mercy Care has cared for Atlantans who are not well served by the traditional healthcare system, including people without insurance, individuals experiencing homelessness, and families navigating life in a new country. Today, we are building on that legacy through our three-year strategic plan, our Conspiracy of Compassion. Our goal is ambitious: to reach more people, remove barriers to care, and address the medical, social, and economic needs that shape health outcomes.
