About Us
"As the community has grown, the demand for healthcare services has outpaced the number of physicians providing care in the local area. Nampa's physician groups, along with Mercy, are both doing their best to meet this growing demand by recruiting physicians to the Nampa community."
--Joe Messmer, President and CEO
of Mercy Medical Center

Mercy Physician Group is comprised of neighborhood clinics, developed in response to Nampa's growing healthcare needs. The neighborhood clinic reflects an emerging trend of decentralization of health services. Studies show that bringing health care directly into local neighborhoods enhances access to care, health outcomes and community wellness.
Studies commissioned by Mercy Medical Center and data from public sources shows a significant need for physicians in the local community. To help meet this need, Mercy Medical Center developed Mercy Physicians Group to complement the work of other physician groups in Nampa.
MPG's Cardiology Clinic, across from the Nampa Recreation center, was the first location to open. Recently, we expanded to include family physicians at Mercy North, located just off I-84 at Garrity Blvd. Our third location, at Dallan Woods, opened in February 2008. This 6000-square-foot clinic includes 15 exam rooms, two procedure rooms and houses five family medicine physicians. Plans include an onsite laboratory and X-ray, and seamless integration with the hospital's information systems, including electronic medical records and patient images.
These new clinics will improve access to care within our community and strengthen Mercy's ability to provide high-quality healthcare to Nampa and surrounding areas.
