TriHealth made the decision to close the clinic after physician Jennifer Lobert, MD, left the health system, according to a statement shared with Becker’s. The health system plans to transition to a new fibromyalgia and hypermobility care model on Nov. 27, where care will be led by patients’ primary care physicians.
The closure of TriHealth Fibromyalgia and Hypermobility Clinic will affect roughly 350 patients, and letters were sent last week to inform of the change.
“We understand the sense of urgency felt by our patients to address this situation, and our team has aspired to work quickly while also taking the time necessary to find the best possible outcome for patient care,” the statement said. “Over the coming weeks, we will work with patients to transition their care to their primary care physician or another healthcare provider of their choice to receive the best healthcare outcomes.”
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.
