Though Mercy has some full-time clinical staff, volunteer professionals support a majority of the medical services offered at Mercy.

Clinical volunteers are those who are credentialed as MD, DO, DMD, Pharmacist, DDS, PA, NP, PHD, RN, RDH or LCSW, etc. If you are interested in volunteering as a healthcare professional, send your completed Healthcare Professional Volunteer Application to volunteer@mercyhealthcenter.net and our Volunteer Provider Coordinator will contact you.

If you are interested in volunteering at Mercy, but are not credentialed, please see our Patient Support Volunteer information below.
