Access to High-Quality Urgent Care, and Outpatient Surgery Options Remain Available in South Nampa and Meridian, Idaho

Over the past several months, Saint Alphonsus Health System and Saltzer Health have been working collaboratively to ensure that services offered at Saltzer’s Ten Mile Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) in Meridian, ID, and the two Saltzer Urgent Care Centers located in South Nampa at 215 E. Hawaii Avenue and at 867 S. Vanguard Way, Meridian, remain open to provide convenient, accessible, high-quality care for the community.

The agreement between Saint Alphonsus and Saltzer Health provides stability, continued access to these services, and continuity of care for the residents of the Treasure Valley community. The Urgent Care Centers closed on Friday, March 29, 2024, while the installation of new IT equipment and an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) is completed by Saint Alphonsus. The Urgent Care Centers will reopen in May, 2024. Patients seeking care at the Urgent Care Centers in the interim can view convenient locations on the Saint Alphonsus website. The Ambulatory Surgery Center will continue to operate uninterrupted under Saint Alphonsus ownership.
