Visiting Hours

Based on the search results, it appears that Saltzer Health is no longer in business as of March 29, 2024. The search results specifically state: "As of March 29, 2024, Saltzer Health is no longer in business. Please visit saltzerhealh.com to learn more." For the specific location at 9850 W. St. Luke´s Drive in Nampa, ID 83687, the search results indicate this was the North Nampa Medical Offices & Extended Hour Family Medicine Clinic, not an Urgent Care facility. This location offered Family Medicine with same-day appointments available during their operational hours of 8:00am – 5:00pm Monday-Friday. Since the business is no longer operational, I cannot provide a Bootstrap-responsive table with current patient visitation information as requested.
