Cleveland-based MetroHealth plans to close six outpatient offices in October to stabilize its finances and enhance operational efficiency.
In an Aug. 25 news release, the health system said services at the affected locations will be consolidated into larger sites, where offerings and hours of operation will be expanded.
The following offices will close Oct. 3:
- Broadview Heights Sports Medicine and Physical Therapy
- The Dental Clinic at Old Brooklyn Medical Center
- Medina Health Center
- Rocky River Medical Offices
- State Road Family Practice
- Westlake Physical Therapy
MetroHealth said that over the past decade, expansions to its service area have led to some service duplication and operational inefficiencies. The closures are aimed at streamlining operations and increasing access by offering more services at fewer locations with expanded hours, according to the release.
The system also plans to open an outpatient health center at its main campus in early 2026 that will include a 24/7 pharmacy.
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.
