COLONTOWN is an online community of more than 120 “secret” groups on Facebook for colorectal cancer patients, survivors, and carepartners. If you or your loved one is facing a colon cancer or rectal cancer diagnosis, you can join groups (we call them “neighborhoods”) based on your stage of disease, specific types of treatment, and special interests – such as colorectal cancer clinical trials, young-onset colorectal cancer patients, and local support groups. Every neighborhood is led by Neighborhood Hosts, themselves living the experience.

Mercy Care can be described in many ways with many words, but our soul is best known through personal encounter. Ask a patient, client, staff member, board member or volunteer about Mercy Care. Better still, come see for yourself. Experience our values at work—compassion, commitment to the poor, excellence, integrity, justice, stewardship and reverence for the dignity of each person. We give people hope where before there was no hope. Maybe that’s the best medicine of all. A federally qualified health center and Atlanta’s only healthcare for the homeless program (330h), Mercy Care accepts most insurances plans, Medicare and Medicaid and offers a sliding fee scale based on household income for the uninsured.
