For Health Care Professionals
Physician Recruitment
There are many kinds of care, but only one kind
that’s Mercy
St. Joseph Mercy
Oakland takes great pride in the many opportunities we have to offer
as you build your medical career. Our medical staff has more than 650
physicians in 51 specialties who are partnering with the hospital to
support the community health care system. The system extends far beyond
the walls of the hospital and into the neighborhoods through local medical
centers, clinics, labs, senior living centers, home health care, nursing
homes and hospice.
St. Joseph Mercy has been part of the Oakland County community for nearly seven decades. Firmly rooted in the traditions of the Sisters of Mercy, St. Joseph Mercy is an active and respected health care provider in southeast Michigan. Over the years, we have evolved from a community hospital into a greatly expanded health care system, capable of meeting the health needs of all residents, from infants to seniors.
