While inpatient and ED services have ended, clinics at MercyOne Oakland and its affiliate, Lyons (Neb.) Family Medicine, will remain open.
In a June 24 news release about the closure, Beth Hughes, president of the Western Iowa region for West Des Moines, Iowa-based MercyOne, said, “Following discussions focused on how to address the evolving delivery needs of rural healthcare, it was clear a change was necessary.”
“As part of our commitment to finding the best way to provide healthcare to this community, we are also exploring the possibility of building a new clinic in Oakland to eventually replace the existing Oakland medical practice,” she added.
