The closures are part of a strategic plan to combat increasing financial pressures and to ensure “we continue to deliver high quality, compassionate, community-based care for decades to come,” CRMC President Gaspare Calvaruso said in a news release.

CRMC said it will reach out to affected patients in the coming weeks to help them find care at other locations. 

The hospital expects providers at affected clinics will move to other facilities within the system, where they have already been providing care, according to the report. 

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
