The shuttered St. Louis-based Homer G. Phillips Memorial Hospital is set to reopen as Houston-based Nutex Health’s first micro-hospital in Missouri, Archview ER & Hospital.
Homer G. Phillips Memorial Hospital’s board surrendered its license to the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services and closed in mid-March. It had been shuttered since December, when its license was suspended due to a blood supply shortage.
Archview ER & Hospital, which is expected to open by the end of 2025, will provide emergency, inpatient and outpatient services, according to a Nov. 17 news release. It will operate 24/7.
“We’re incredibly excited to open Archview ER & Hospital and bring high-quality, patient-centered care to the community,” Karen Johnson, BSN, RN, chief nursing officer at Archview ER & Hospital, said in the release. “Our goal is to provide exceptional emergency and inpatient services close to home, delivered with compassion and efficiency.”
Ms. Johnson previously served as CEO of Homer G. Phillips Memorial Hospital, according to her LinkedIn page.
