Becker's Healthcare May 7, 2024
Rural health clinic McCurtain Memorial Urgent Care – Hochatown near Broken Bow, Okla., closed April 28.
The clinic was owned by McCurtain Memorial Hospital in Idabel, Okla., which made the decision to close mid-April after an assessment.
The clinic has been operating at a loss since it opened, the hospital’s President and CEO Brian Whitfield said in a statement with Becker’s, and was mainly used by tourists visiting Hochatown.
Hochatown Mayor Dian Jordan, PhD, told Becker’s in a statement that her team had not been provided with data to support the sudden closure — a loss ahead of tourism season. Town leadership has begun looking into alternative or emergency healthcare services, Dr. Jordan added.
