Committee told of multiple clinic closures; new Noble clinic under construction
Summary
Committee members were told several specialty and primary‑care clinics plan to close in July; a new clinic in Noble has concrete poured and is expected to offer urgent care, family medicine and orthopedics by year‑end.
Emergency Manager George Mauldin told the committee that several clinics are scheduled to close in July, listing pediatric care, rheumatology, endocrinology, wound care, primary care, orthostatic services and a program described in the minutes as "Health at the Well." He said these closures could displace medical professionals and services in the area.
Mauldin said a new clinic in Noble is under development and that concrete has been poured; the planned facility is expected to include urgent care, family medicine and some specialty services such as orthopedics and could absorb displaced providers. He cited a target completion date of the end of the year. No formal county action or funding allocation was recorded in the minutes.
