Enterprise (Ala.) Women’s Center will close March 31 after 32 years in operation due to staffing shortages, WTVY reported Feb. 12.
The practice currently operates with one OB-GYN and one nurse practitioner. Following the closure, Bradley Heim, MD, will join Dothan OB-GYN at Southeast Health Medical Center. James Pollard, MD, will return to Medical Center Enterprise, where he will treat gynecology patients exclusively.
According to the report, the practice faced ongoing recruitment challenges, as newer providers preferred working with more modern equipment than what the current staff uses.
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.
