Medical Staff Office


The Medical Staff Office is here to serve our Medical and Allied Health Professional Staff at St Mary’s. Some of the items that are handled by Medical Staff Services are:

  • Credentialing and re-credentialing of all physicians and allied health practitioners.
  • Maintaining numerous physician information data banks, that includes information such as education training, experience, and licensure
  • Reviewing and implementing various federal rulings and accrediting body standards pertaining to the functions of the medical and/or provider staff
  • Facilitating meetings and communication between physicians, both within and outside their specialties, as well as with hospital administration
  • Assisting the medical staff in developing, establishing and enforcing bylaws, rules and regulations, and policies

Let us know how we can assist you.
