CHRISTUS Cabrini on Sunday affirmed its Surgery Center on the hospital’s Masonic Drive home grounds is closing.
A posted public notice advises all and sundry the center will cease operations on November 1.
Persons wanting a copy of their records from treatment at the center can contact recordsrequests@tenethealth.
The notice does not discuss factors in the hospital’s decision as the health care industry undergoes a continuing overhaul.
In April 2021, Cabrini entered a joint venture, taking a majority stake, in the physicians-owned Central Louisiana Surgical Hospital that opened a decade earlier on North Bolton Avenue.
In June 2022 that building and property were purchased by a California private equity company for $42 million.
That company, IRA Capital, in the same time frame purchased a similar hospital property in Naples, FL. for $49.2 million.
