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.

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.

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

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!

Man the Caprock news is a real gut punch. My family has used it so many times and it's so convenient and fast. Is another entity gonna buy it and operate it or doors closed forever and that building repurposed?

I was not a fan of their billing practices. My ( young adult) daughter was seen for an UTI in mid- 2023. Covered under my insurance, paid what was owed at that time. Then, 18 months later, received a bill for more $$ owed. Got some song and dance story about billing BCBS, appeals, etc. I and my family have used S&W, St Joes, Integrity Urgent Care, Signature ER and have never experienced this. Was not a fan. But still sorry to see a local business fail.

My understanding is it wasn't a local business anymore. They sold out a couple years ago to a group out of Houston.

We went tonight and it was plenty of food and everything we tried was great. I got the sampler (ended up with 7 for 12.95) went coco, sweet and spicy, spicy. As far as the salad dressings, I preferred the Poppyseed to the Ginger, but both are really good. Add the grilled Pineapple for a pleasant treat.

Zeitman's is opening a second location in Navasota on December 11 (which might make this the last "comings" of 2024 before we get the 2025 thread up).

They sold their urgent cares off to Integrity, but the two ERs were still locally owned by the original group.

What's going on at the park on Anderson just south of Grace Bible Church? New park building? Expanding parking?

Per TLDR, "New pickleball courts and two multiuse courts with parking"

Correct. I noted that in earlier posts. Urgent care and freestanding hospital and ERs are two different business models. Probably 3 different models and there in lies what likely put them in this spot.

Their billing was my issue, no transparency and if you called and asked for clarification they were generally pretty rude and difficult to deal with.

I was afraid to go the ER because I did not understand the billing.

Land was cleared on 29th, behind the office building complex that I believe TexAgs was in back in the 90's, if my memory is correct. N side of 29th, between Broadmoor and Briarcrest.

No signs up that I've seen yet.

PJs Coffee is going in at Welsh and Harvey Mitchell, I believe this location was a Popeye's or other fried chicken chain at some point.
