Person of knowledge told me that Adams won't spend extra $$$ on facility expansion because Caprock is not making a profit right now.

Doctor's are giving Adam's scenarios of how to make a profit but he isn't seeing the long term effects of immediate investments so Caprock will be closing down because of it

How does a place that bills a patient $500 for "radiologist to read results," AFTER insurance, not make a profit?

Because that money is going to the radiologist group, not the facility.

So DA doesn't want to follow bad money with good ? Probably a good move. The original owners of the Caprock ER got out over their skis with the Caprock Hospital in Bryan. Their gamble - not an unreasonable one - hasn't paid off. Freestanding ERs are failing in many places. I don't think theirs would be if they had stuck to their original model. I suspect WDF is doing well but the Bryan location is more than offsetting it. At some point any investor has to ask how much more? I have no inside info, nor am I invested in Caprock or any competition of theirs. But I do observe the local and state and national trends closely.
This thread deserves its own thread - not coming and going at this point - although it was completely appropriate a day or two ago.

CapRock on Fitch helped save my life so there's that… Really liked that place.

Not seeing the story up on KBTX. They also have a ribbon cutting in December on something on the Chamber website.

All employees got a letter. Closing in December. Some kind of bonus if they stick around through the last shift.

I was told by someone in theknow, that one of the problems with Caprock is that they often don't try to collect on outstanding bills. If the patient just ignors the bill, they don't persue payment. Not a good way to run a business.

Probably the writing was on the wall when they sold both the Century Square and Jones Crossing facilities to Integrity a few years ago. Any time a company sells or closes a quarter or more of their locations without a clear path forward for the rest of the company is NEVER a good sign.

6 shrimp for $12.50? Ouch. When is Long John Silvers opening back up?

+ rice and salad. Doesn't seem too crazy to me relative to Chick Fil a costing $15 for grilled chicken sandwich with a tea and fruit cup.

One of our favorite spots in DFW, really excited to have them in town. Plenty of food.

Ridiculous. 6 shrimp is an appetizer.

Those were urgent cares - not freestanding Er or hospital. Different business models.

Agreed. You'll pay more for much smaller "tapas" at several places in BCS.

File under "possible comings:" friends sent me some info about a Ukrainian woman who just moved here with her family and is looking to cater and also sell food directly.

I'll add details as I get them. I saw pelmeni, varaneky, stuffed chicken breasts (chicken Kiev?) and Ukrainian crepes so far in some pics she shared.

Had Wild Pita for lunch yesterday. It was good! I got a burrito and it was a really nice size, having it for leftovers today. Parking can be an issue, but other than that, I will go back.

Agreed! Wild Pita is awesome. The options and quantity is great for the price. It has become our favorite quick grab and go meal. However-that parking lot is terrible!
