Mr. Moore debunked Mr. Leigh’s claim that the hospital plans to employ all of its physicians, saying that the hospital has “emphasized repeatedly that we do not believe in a one-size-fits-all physician model.” He said to underscore this point, the hospital is creating a medical services offerings through which private practice physicians can purchase business services from the hospital.
He also addressed the hospital’s search for a tenant for the surgery center located in the North Medical Office Building. He said that in 2005, Memorial began working with a physician group to establish an ASC next to Memorial Hospital North. After Memorial entered into a master lease, the physician group underwent a change that made the proposed arrangement untenable. The hospital has explored opportunities with possible tenants with no solution so far.
