1-Mile Family Walk & Health Fair At North Phoenix Baptist Church On March 11
Spring is the perfect time to get out and enjoy the great weather and put some well-deserved time into your own health and wellness, all for a good cause. Mission of Mercy is hosting our third annual Spring Into Wellness outdoor event on Sat., March 11, from 8:30-11:00 a.m.
The FREE event will include a special visit from Go, the Phoenix Suns Gorilla!
Fun Run, Music, Fresh Foods, Demos and More!
The event will feature a 1-mile family fun run/walk at North Phoenix Baptist Church (5757 N. Central Ave., Phoenix), in addition to exercise demonstrations, children’s activities, and a health fair. The event will be held in the south parking lot off Central Avenue and Montebello. A map is on our registration website.
The Pulse 88.7 FM will be on-site playing upbeat music, and we will also have our newest mobile medical RV on site for tours. And the Uptown Farmer’s Market is happening in another area of the church parking lot, so you can grab fresh fruits, veggies, and other goods after the event.

“As we start a new year with new goals, many people choose to focus on their health and well-being,” said Paula Carvalho, executive director of Mission of Mercy Arizona, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary serving Arizonans this year. “Whether you want to achieve personal fitness goals this spring or you’re simply interested in getting outside for a morning of healthy activities and fun, our hope is to empower all our participants on their wellness journeys.”
What it supports
Through six clinics operating five days per week across the Valley and a network of more than 100 volunteer doctors, nurses and medical interpreters, Mission of Mercy provides approximately 2,500 patients with completely free medical care and vital prescription medications each year.
Unlike other free or low-cost healthcare clinics, Mission of Mercy has no cumbersome prequalification process, which can be a barrier to care for the uninsured and sometimes deters people from seeking medical help.
In 2022, Mission of Mercy Arizona provided approximately 11,000 free patient visits and dispensed more than 39,000 prescription medications. MOM’s six mobile clinics are located in the communities of Phoenix, Mesa, Avondale, Maryvale and Chandler.
