NAMPA Family Medicine Residency of Idaho and Saltzer Medical Group in Nampa have announced a new affiliation for pediatric care.

Through the new affiliation, patients will have improved access to additional services including behavioral and mental health professionals, nutritional services and care coordination, according to a press release from Family Medicine Residency. Pediatricians will continue to provide primary care to Medicaid and uninsured pediatric patients.

Tremendous efforts have been made to make this transfer of patient care as seamless and smooth as possible for the former Saltzer patients and families, the press release stated. The same high-quality care will occur in the same locations with the same friendly faces.

The pediatric clinics will have locations in Nampa and Meridian in existing Saltzer Medical Group practices. The Nampa clinic is at 215 E. Hawaii Ave., and the Meridian clinic is at 3277 E. Louise Drive, Suite 200. Both are scheduled to open Sept. 1.

Family Medicine Residency of Idaho is affiliated with the University of Washington School of Medicine. Saltzer pediatricians will have the opportunity to teach and participate in other scholarly activities with the new affiliation.
