The Village at Meridian to Host First Off-site High-Throughput Vaccination Clinic in Idaho

Saint Alphonsus Health System will consolidate its COVID-19 vaccination clinics to a central location at The Village at Meridian. Effective on Thursday, February 18, all appointments previously scheduled for Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise, Saint Alphonsus Medical Center in Nampa and Saint Alphonsus Medical Group clinics in Southwestern Idaho will be relocated to this central location.

“We have been holding vaccination clinics at our Idaho hospitals and clinics since mid-December and have administered more than 25,000 vaccine doses in Idaho,” said Jennifer Misajet, Regional Chief Nursing Officer for Saint Alphonsus Health System and Vice President of Operations for Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center. “By consolidating all these clinics to one central and easily accessible location with convenient parking, we will be able to streamline the vaccination process and reduce the disruption and inconvenience to patients and staff at our hospitals and family medicine clinic locations.”

The new vaccination site will be in the 50,000 square foot former Gordmans store at 2260 N. Eagle Road between Petco and Michaels. This will be the first off-site high-throughput vaccination clinic location to open in Idaho.

“We are so appreciative of CenterCal Properties, owners of The Village at Meridian, for making this space available,” said Misajet. “Also, Norco has stepped up and is donating wheelchairs for our patients who need assistance while they wait for their appointments and as they move through the clinic.”

Patients who have appointments scheduled for either the Boise or Nampa hospitals are being notified of the location change. More information about the COVID-19 vaccines and scheduling information is available at www.saintalphonsus.org/getvaccinated.
