Community Outreach
The ultimate goal of the Miami Cancer Center at Mercy Hospital is to reduce the rate of complications and death from cancer in our community. To this end, the Center has expanded its approach in community outreach and educational efforts by addressing the needs of the community’s underserved population through Mercy’s Mission and Ethics department and the Saint John Bosco Clinic. This effort has been extended to Mercy’s own employees through its Health Promotions program.
