The closure is due in large part to reduced Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements, which account for 63 percent of the hospital’s total revenue, according to the report.
The clinic, which was staffed by three orthopedic surgeons, three physician assistants and other employees, offered total hip and knee replacements and treatment for joint injuries, arthritis, bursitis and sports injuries.
The hospital will work with Orthopedics Northwest, a private clinic in Yakima, and other local providers to transition patients out of the clinic.
