Staff Physician (MD/DO)

Employment Type: Full time

Shift: Day Shift

Description

At Mercy Care, healthcare is more than a profession - it is a calling.

For more than 40 years, Mercy Care has cared for Atlantans who are not well served by the traditional healthcare system, including people without insurance, individuals experiencing homelessness, and families navigating life in a new country.

Today, we are building on that legacy through our three-year strategic plan, our Conspiracy of Compassion. Our goal is ambitious: to reach more people, remove barriers to care, and address the medical, social, and economic needs that shape health outcomes.

To make that vision a reality, we need talented and compassionate clinicians to join our team.

Whether you are providing direct patient care, helping patients navigate complex challenges, or helping us build a healthcare system that better serves those too often left behind, your work will have a lasting impact on individuals, families, and communities.

If you believe healthcare should be compassionate, accessible, and transformative, consider a career with Mercy Care. Together, we can change lives - and help redefine what healthcare can be.
