Mercy Primary Care Physicians Drs. Ernestine Wright and Jonathan Rich Featured Guests on “Medoscopy”

Ernestine A. Wright, M.D., FACP, and Jonathan D. Rich, D.O., primary care doctors with Mercy Personal Physicians Downtown, are the featured guests on Mercy Medical Center's monthly talk show, "Medoscopy," airing Wednesday, May 22 and Thursday, May 23 at 5:30 p.m. on Facebook Watch.

Dr. Rich, who sees adult patients from Federal Hill, Canton, Fells Point, Baltimore Metro Center and Mt. Vernon, is active in the teaching program at Mercy Medical Center where he instructs University of Maryland medical students, interns and residents.

Dr. Wright is a Fellow of the American College of Physicians (FACP), a nationally recognized mark of distinction and excellence for those in the field of Internal Medicine. Additionally, Dr. Wright served as Medical Director at Stella Maris, Central Maryland's largest long term/geriatric care facility, prior to joining Mercy's Downtown Personal Physicians.

Dr. Rich relays how, after earning a National Health Services Corps Scholarship, he spent four years in Roanoke, North Carolina where he provided health care to underserved communities, including Native Americans, and worked with local leaders on health education outreach.

Originally from Manchester, England, Dr. Wright discussed how she came to U.S. and Western Pennsylvania Hospital at Pittsburgh, PA, before coming to Baltimore. She mentioned her time as a "dance mom", traveling with her daughter to dance competitions, and her efforts working with children and teens at her local church.

A 30-minute pre-taped program that explores the background and lives of Mercy clinicians, patients and others, Medoscopy was launched in spring 2022 and airs in two 15-minute segments. Past episodes of Medoscopy are available for viewing on Mercy's YouTube channel.

Medoscopy is filmed on the campus of Mercy Medical Center in downtown Baltimore with video, sound, and lighting by Zinnia Film.
