Columbus (Ind.) Regional Health is closing its outpatient orthopedics and sports medicine practice due to financial hardships.
The organization’s executive leadership and board of trustees determined that CRH was no longer able to cost-effectively provide orthopedic and sports medicine services and that similar services are readily available in the area from other providers, according to a June 30 statement from the system.
Economic challenges cited for the closing include rising supply costs, federal and state funding cuts, and delayed and low reimbursements.
CRH is also cutting its athletic trainer program for Indiana University-Columbus, Bartholomew Consolidated School Corporation and Flatrock-Haw Creek School Corporation.
The changes associated with the closure of CRH Orthopedics and Sports Medicine will take place over the next few months, the release said.
