St. Joseph’s Health To Close 2 Urgent Care Centers

St. Joseph's Health, based in Syracuse, New York, announced the closure of two urgent care centers in Liverpool and Fayetteville. The urgent care centers employ 52 people including physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners. An undetermined number of the affected employees will be moved to new positions, while others will be laid off or furloughed, according to Julianne Himes, chief operating officer of St. Joseph’s Physicians.

Although the urgent care centers had decreased revenue over the past few years, the decline in consumer volume due to the COVID-19 pandemic has led to closures. St. Joseph's Health . . .
