Location Merced is a growing city of 82,000 with a new 190-bed hospital and a University of CA campus, both of which have attracted a large number of physicians to our community. The UC is also planning for the development of a medical school. Merced is located in an ideal setting that offers the best of both worlds: close proximity to all the amenities of large metropolitan areas and the low cost, low stress environment of a family oriented Central CA community. A short two hours drive will get you to San Francisco; the quaint coastal towns of Monterey and Carmel; and Sacramento, the state capital. We are a short drive to Yosemite with all its grandeur and recreational options. Tahoe is a four hour drive for great summer and winter recreation. The city boasts its own orchestra and theater company and is host to a variety of festivals throughout the year. In addition, our growing community offers 18-hole golf courses and more than 12 miles of class-one, grade-separated bike paths.
