West Tennessee Medical Group Gastroenterology, part of Jackson-based West Tennessee Healthcare, will close July 1.

The organization did not provide a reason for the closure, and encouraged patients with ongoing specialty gastroenterology services to establish care with another provider, according to a June 16 news release from West Tennessee Healthcare. 

Current provider Florentina Whitford will maintain her practice location in McKenzie, Tenn., under McKenzie General Surgery, a satellite of Martin General Surgery.

In addition to the McKenzie location, West Tennessee Medical Group Gastroenterology has practices in Dyersburg, Martin and Paris, Tenn., according to its website. 

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.
