Carthage Area Hospital has been exploring oversight opportunities of its Carthage Community Dental Clinic. The ever-changing landscape of healthcare has prompted Carthage Area Hospital to evaluate its operations to ensure the community is receiving essential services and that the hospital remains financially strong. Therefore, Carthage Area Hospital and McCue Dental have reached an agreement to transition ownership of the Carthage Community Dental Clinic to McCue Dental effective September 19, 2016.
“This mutually-beneficial acquisition allows for dental services to be continually provided to the local community,” said Rich Duvall, CEO of Carthage Area Hospital.
Thomas McCue, IV DDS, owner of McCue Dental believes the transition is a positive alternative.
“There are so many people that need help. With this acquisition, we are improving access to care,” said McCue.
Patients will be given the opportunity to continue treatment at McCue Dental or transfer their records to a provider of their choice (once an authorization for release of information is obtained). If an authorization for release of information is not received, the records will be stored at Carthage Area Hospital for a minimum of ten years. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the facility contact person for Carthage Area Hospital (CAH), Jerian O’Dell, Clinic Manager at (315) 493-3100 ext. 5106 or by fax at (315) 519-1898.
