Mercy Medical Center has opened a new family medicine physician clinic in the Dallan Woods Marketplace in Nampa. Located at the corner of Midland Road and Roosevelt, the new Mercy Physician Group (MPG) clinic will be home to five family medicine physicians. The clinic at Dallan Woods is one of several locations planned by Mercy Physician Group in response to the community's growing health care needs. The neighborhood clinic reflects an emerging trend in health care of decentralization of services. Studies have shown that bringing health care services directly into the neighborhoods where people live enhances access to care, health outcomes and community wellness.
Family medicine physicians Austin Graham, Brian Cothern, Bayo Crownson and Tricia Keefe are MPG's family medicine physicians and are currently accepting new patients. Dr. Brian Cothern and Dr. Bayo Crownson are located in the new Dallan Woods clinic. Dr. Tricia Keefe and Dr. Austin Graham are located at Mercy North, though Dr. Keefe will be moving to Dallan Woods in the near future. These highly qualified physicians will help to improve the access to care within our community and strengthen Mercy's ability to provide high quality health care to the residents of Nampa and the surrounding areas.
"As the community has grown, the demand for health care services has outpaced the number of physicians providing care in the local area," said Joe Messmer, President & CEO of Mercy Medical Center. "Nampa's physician groups along with Mercy are both doing their best to meet this growing demand by recruiting physicians to the Nampa community."
The new Mercy Physician Group location at Dallan Woods is a 6000 square foot clinic that includes 15 exam rooms, 2 procedure rooms and will house 5 Mercy Physician Group family medicine physicians. The clinic includes an onsite laboratory and X-ray, as well as seamless integration with the hospitals information systems, including electronic medical records and patient images. For appointments or information please call Mercy Physician Group at 465-6900.
