Rebeka Mercker, MD joined DFMCH as a resident in 2024. Rebeka was born and raised in Fulda, IN, “the smallest of small towns.” Within a population of 38, Rebeka learned the importance of building strong community ties with her patients.

Rebeka earned her undergraduate degree in Biology from the University of Southern Indiana. She spent eight weeks studying abroad in Gaborone, Botswana, during which time she was exposed to different health systems by working at various urban and rural clinics.

She earned her medical degree from the Indiana University School of Medicine. She was the women’s health liaison for her medical school’s student outreach clinic. In this role, she deepened her passion for women’s health and the importance of providing easily accessible care to underserved populations. All these experiences have led to Rebeka’s committed interests in women’s health, LGBTQ+ care, and rural healthcare.
