The primary care clinic started as a mall kiosk in Roseville, Calif., in 2017, led by high-profile executives from Google and Uber. 

Forward sent a letter to its patients on Nov. 12 saying it planned to shutter all of its locations, cancel scheduled visits and cut off access to its mobile app. 

The company’s clinical team will be available by email until December 13 for remaining patient support, according to the notice. 

“We will provide further information about how to access your medical records in the future as well as some suggested resources for finding a new provider,” the notice reads. “Over the last eight years, it’s been a privilege to provide the world’s best preventive care to our members.”

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.
