Mercy Names New Medical Director

Oklahoma City — The Sisters of Mercy Health System in St. Louis, Missouri, has named Oklahoma’s Stuart Schrader, D.O., as a medical director for Mercy’s Center for Innovative Care which encompasses a network of more than 20 hospitals in the Midwest.

Dr. Schrader, a board certified internal medicine and pediatric physician at Mercy Health Northwest Family clinic in Oklahoma City, will continue to practice medicine part-time in Oklahoma City while providing input into ways Mercy will transform how patients experience health care and take part in finding new ways to respond to the health needs of our communities.

Dr. Schrader, along with three other physicians from St. Louis and Springfield, Missouri, will work with Mercy’s leadership and other physicians to lead Mercy into a new health care future.

“I am pleased to have these physicians on board at the Center for Innovative Care,” said Lynn Britton, Mercy Health System president and CEO. “Collectively, they bring to their work a broad range of clinical experience and expertise in serving diverse patient populations, which will be crucial as we seek new and better ways to deliver care that meets the varied needs of our patients.”

Dr. Schrader, who serves as chair of the quality and safety committee for Mercy in Oklahoma City, received his medical degree from Des Moines University in Des Moines, Iowa, and performed an internal medicine/pediatrics residency at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
