Ascension St. Vincent announced this past week that it is closing 11 immediate care clinics around Indiana, including Frankfort Primary Care and Frankfort Heart Care on East Wabash Street.
Ascension St. Vincent said it will start notifying patients of the closures in the coming weeks and that most of the impacted facilities will close in the next 90 days. This will be the third round of closures Ascension St. Vincent has announced in the last year.
Ascension St. Vincent did put out a statement last week which said the following:
“The global COVID-19 pandemic has taken a significant operational toll on health system 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.”
Frankfort, which had a total of three different hospitals in town, is now down to IU Health Hospital on South Jackson Street, the IU Health Arnett Physician Family Members on South Hoke Avenue, and Riggs Community Health Center on Gopher Drive in Frankfort.
