The closure comes after the November announcement that Hill Country Memorial Hospital was acquired by San Antonio Methodist Hospital. San Antonio Methodist Hospital will assume ownership of the Hill Country Memorial care network at the end of March.
“We’ve determined that’s the most appropriate service to provide in the community,” Amanda Stevens, chief strategy officer for Hill Country Memorial Hospital, told the publication.
Ms. Stevens said the acquisition had nothing to do with the decision to close the center.
The hospital’s specialty clinic, which opened in May, will continue to operate, according to the report.
The ASC offers general outpatient surgery, obstetrics and gynecology.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
