Welcome to a special Wealth That Matters® edition of the Doctor’s Eyes Only Podcast where Partner and Advisor Cameron Heasley interviews Dr. Lee and Lori Wilbur, the founders of the nonprofit, Divine Mercy Health Center. Lee is an emergency medicine physician, Lori is the family CFO and COO, and they both share a passion for serving others through their nonprofit. Divine Mercy Health Center was inspired by the ways the Wilburs found the healthcare system to lack accessibility to marginalized communities. They discovered that social determinations of health such as transportation, housing and education were key reasons that some didn’t get proper healthcare, and as a way to join their proffessional, personal, and faith lives, the Wilburs set out to bring health care to those communities. In providing free healthcare services, Divine Mercy Health Center allows patients to go through various stations such as biometrics, consultation with a physician, and motivational interviews where they are empowered to set goals for better health. In this amazing podcast episode, listeners are able to learn about a non profit mission that is fueled by faith, and powered by church populations in the communities they serve, an idea that came about from the challenge of starting in a Hispanic community and not being bilingual, as Lori talks about in the episode. Because of the success they have had in the communities they have served, Dr. Lee and Lori currently have plans to open a clinic that will offer primary care, mental health services, and substance abuse counseling to Southwest Little Rock Arkansas. To fund the clinic’s construction, hire staff, and establish an endowment for future growth and expansion, a capital campaign has been launched called ‘Have Mercy Give Health’. Through this campaign Dr. Lee and Lori Wilbur have goals to reach communities in marginalized areas throughout the entire state of Arkansas. As is said in the podcast episode, any help is appreciated whether it be a financial donation, volunteerism, or consulting in areas such as business or marketing.

The Doctor’s Eyes Podcast would like to thank Dr. Lee and Lori for sharing their Wealth That Matters® with our audience and we can’t wait to check back with them in the future to hear more about their progress and success.
