MercyOne Iowa hospital to close in September

From Becker's:

Des Moines, Iowa-based MercyOne shared plans to close its MercyOne Primghar (Iowa) Medical Center by Sept. 30.

The closure comes as MercyOne, which is part of Livonia, Mich.-based Trinity Health, aims to redesign care in the Primghar area due to existing economic and workforce challenges, according to a July 26 news release shared with Becker's.

Along with the closure, MercyOne will consolidate MercyOne Paulina Family Medicine and MercyOne Sutherland Family medicine with Primghar Family Medicine, which will stay open.
