Matt Mercer

Job Titles:
  • Co - Owner
I started my anesthesia career as a student at Duke University's Nurse Anesthesia program in 2014 where I developed my love for the profession. Since graduating in 2016 I have worked at over a dozen facilities in both North Carolina and South Carolina in both a staffing and management role. In 2019 I became the chief CRNA at a rural hospital in North Carolina where I was able to develop my own management style centered around fairness and hard work. I had the opportunity to join ProMed Assistance Group in 2017 as a co-owner. Since that time I am proud to say we have expanded our business to include 25+ hospitals, clinics and surgery centers throughout the southeast. We are actively expanding and very much look forward to building new relationships. I have personally taken on a recruiting role as getting to know people has always been an interest of mine. Prior to my anesthesia career I worked as a nurse in the intensive care setting as well as ran a small construction company. When I am not working I am somewhere on a boat fishing with my family.
