Ascension St. Vincent closing 11 facilities in Central Indiana, citing pandemic challenges
Claire RaffordAscension St. Vincent will close 11 facilities across Central Indiana, including primary care centers in Greenwood, Plainfield and Avon and a dermatologist's office in Carmel.
"The global COVID-19 pandemic has taken a significant operational toll on health systems across the country, and as we continue to evolve how we deliver care in this challenging environment, we will be partially or fully discontinuing operations at several Ascension Medical Group St. Vincent locations," an emailed statement from Ascension St. Vincent stated.
The statement said that most of the impacted locations would close within 90 days, and that notifications to patients would begin shortly.
This is the latest in a wave of closures for the Catholic nonprofit hospital system in Indiana. In June, the company confirmed it would close 11 immediate care centers around the state, without giving a reason.
In November, Ascension St. Vincent announced it would close its Bedford hospital after citing a system-wide loss of $1.8 billion.
