NEW Digital Process for Requesting an Initial or Reappointment Application (MSSD Memo 12/8/22) St. Mary Medical Center has changed its process for receiving and processing both reappointment and initial applications, for Medical Staff membership and clinical privileges. This change was made in order to reduce the administrative burden to both physicians and Allied Health Practitioners (AHP) applicants applying for privileges.
