The rebranding follows New Orleans-based Ochsner Health System’s January acquisition of MHM.
“By acquiring MHM in January, Ochsner now offers a full continuum of integrated, pre-acute, non-emergency room offerings throughout the Greater New Orleans Area,” Gerry Cvitanovich, MD, chief strategy officer for Ochsner Urgent Care, said in a news release. “Ochsner Urgent Care locations will now continue in Ochsner’s goal of ensuring that the most appropriate level of care is accessible to patients when and where they need us.”
The acquisition and successive rebrand also includes upgrading the urgent care clinics’ EMR to Epic software, the release states.
