Cone Health has been doing a lot of shuffling of its services and locations in recent years, and now the closure of Primary Care at Pomona at 102 Pomona Dr. in Greensboro will come as a disappointment to many in that area who used the location to get medical care.
This week, regular clients of the facility received a letter thanking them for relying on the Primary Care over the years. The letter added, “We are writing to let you know that Primary Care at Pomona will close on March 25, 2022, and we invite you to continue to see your provider at their new location.”
The notice, dated March 21, then lists the doctors and other medical professionals who saw patients at Primary Care at Pomona, and it gives their new locations. Some are moving to LeBauer Healthcare at Summerfield Village in Summerfield. Some are heading to LeBauer Healthcare at 709 Green Valley Road in Greensboro – and one provider is leaving the Cone health system entirely.
The letter to clients notes that Cone Health is still “eager” to provide care for the patients who used the Pomona office – though of course that will mean a much longer drive for some.
Cone Health has been shuffling the system in other ways as well. In March 2021, Cone shut down its Green Valley campus – formerly known as the “Woman’s Hospital of Greensboro.”
During the pandemic that site was used to treat COVID-19 patients. However, Cone Health later sold the campus after COVID-19 numbers fell.
When those numbers rose again to new heights, some community leaders were wondering if Cone had shut down the COVID-19-only treatment facility too early.
In 1990, Cone bought that facility and began using it as the Woman’s Hospital and it became a site where many babies were born over the years.
Only Cone. Only Cone can take the first Urgent Care in the state and ruin it. Only Cone can take a private practice that had a dozen physicians working trying to keep up with demand and run it in the ground. A practice that was virtually always open and always had a large demand of patients waiting for care could not make a profit. This location was a staple of good care for very long. Here is a note to private practices who want to sell to Cone. Don’t do it. It will be run into the ground and will be unrecognizable in a few short years.
Facts
Had a lot of turnover at this site, don’t know why. Now my wife’s doctor is relocating to Summerfield. Just too far for us. Cone doesn’t care. Their all about money and power.
And, Cone is not for profit! HA! highly paid executives reduce available healthcare in underserved neighborhoods and the business doesn’t pay taxes! More money for executives. The drs don’t make more money just the CEO and VP’s.
The Doctors do make more money. Personally, I want my Doctor to make lots of money.
I worked hard for this company and the office manager became power hungry and wanted to ruin every ounce of happiness this place had. I loved my job when I first went to work for them but when management changed, it got bad. Also, Cone changed CEOs and the lady running the show now Mary Jo Cagle is evil and doesn’t care about her staff. I hate they shut down but I knew they were going to eventually because all the Drs were leaving and they couldn’t keep staff. How about appreciating your staff and maybe you could’ve stayed open. I left and went to a better company, that actually says thank you, or at least shows they care.
