Mercy Health Edmond Santa Fe Welcomes Dr. Kimberly Edgmon

Oklahoma City— Kimberly Edgmon, M.D., is the newest member to join the team at Mercy Health Edmond Santa Fe.

Dr. Edgmon received her medical degree from The University of Oklahoma College of Medicine, and performed a pediatrics residency at The University of Tennessee at Le Bonheur Children’s Medical Center and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee.

Dr. Edgmon is a member of American Academy of Pediatrics, American Medical Association and Oklahoma State Medical Association.

“As a pediatrician, I am constantly amazed at how much children can teach us about life and love,” said Dr. Edgmon. “In the complex world of medicine, my patients help remind me of life’s simple joys. From first colds to first crushes, I learn new lessons every day, and I wouldn’t want it any other way.”

Mercy Health Edmond Santa Fe is located at 523 S. Santa Fe. Clinic hours are Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Same day appointments are now available.

Mercy Health Center, the only Magnet hospital in Oklahoma and among only 2 percent of hospitals in the nation to be awarded Magnet status, is a member of Mercy Health System of Oklahoma and the Sisters of Mercy Health System. Magnet-designated facilities: report higher patient satisfaction rates, deliver better patient outcomes, provide more nursing care at the bedside of patients and consistently outperform non-magnet organizations.
