St. Rose urgent care center sold

Friday, Oct. 8, 2004 | 11:15 a.m.

St. Rose Dominican Hospitals is selling its only urgent care center, but the company says consumers will see little change under the new owner.

The urgent care center, at 100 N. Green Valley Parkway, Ste. 110, in Henderson, will change owners on Nov. 7, but patient care will not be affected, said Mandy Abrams, spokeswoman for St. Rose.

The hospital decided to sell the urgent care center because the compliance costs were too expensive, she said. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Urgent care centers offer treatment for non-emergencies and after-hours primary care. The company will continue to offer emergency services at its two Henderson hospitals.

The urgent care center has nine employees, which will be given the choice on whether to keep their jobs.

There are four physicians who work there on a contract basis who will be leaving under the new ownership.

Dr. Paul Singh, an internal medicine physician who practices at St. Rose hospitals, is purchasing the clinic. He could not be reached for comment.
