A health clinic at Moran will close next month.
The Allen County Regional Hospital and Saint Luke’s Health System announced the clinic’s closing on Thursday, although patients were notified in a letter earlier this month.
The Moran clinic has been open only on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons since 2017, according to a press release from hospital officials.
Its provider, JoAnna Curl, PA-C, and a medical assistant also work at the Humboldt Clinic. Closing the Moran clinic will allow staff to focus on patients at Humboldt, which has a higher volume.
“Our goal, as always, is to ensure the services we provide truly match what our communities need from us,” said Steve Schieber, CEO of Saint Luke’s Critical Access Region. “In evaluating data from the past several years, we’ve seen clearly that many of our patients in the eastern part of the county are already choosing to seek care at our Iola and Humboldt clinic locations. As a result, and after a thorough review, we have made the decision to permanently close the Moran Clinic and redistribute those resources so we can increase patient services at our Humboldt Clinic.”
The last day to schedule an appointment at the Moran Clinic is Sept. 1. Curl will continue to be available for appointments at the Humboldt Clinic by calling 620-473-3008.
Transportation assistance for non-emergent medical care and other health and wellness needs may be available through Thrive Allen County. To learn more, visit thriveallencounty.org/transportation or call 620-228-0463.
