Becker's has reported on two physician practice or clinic closures since Jan. 1:
1. Watertown, N.Y.-based Samaritan Health will close its pain management center Feb. 28. The center, which has 15 employees and one contracted physician, is no longer "meeting the organization's goals," a Jan. 28 news release from the health system said
2. Jordan Healthcare, a medical practice in Southwick, Mass., closed Jan. 21 following issues with insurance companies.
"This decision comes after much reflection and is driven by circumstances beyond our control, including ongoing constraints from health insurance companies," the practice wrote on its Facebook page, according to MassLive.
