From a press release
Los Alamos Medical Center has purchased the assets of The Endoscopy Center of Los Alamos, LLC, effective Aug. 4, when hospital officials concluded the transaction with AmSurg and Northern New Mexico Gastroenterology Associates.
The Los Alamos Medical Center then opened The Endoscopy Center as an outpatient department of the hospital and was issued appropriate licensure to operate the center by the state Health Department.
“We are so very excited and pleased to be able to join forces with this excellent GI center,” Los Alamos Medical Center Chief Executive Officer Sandra Podley said of the hospital’s latest business venture. “Its lead physician, Dr. Bradley Rowberry, is well-known in Northern New Mexico as an outstanding gastroenterologist and for the personal attention he gives each of his patients. We look forward to working very closely with Dr. Rowberry to greatly enhance LAMC’s growing surgical and diagnostic capabilities.”
The Endoscopy Center staff will continue to provide uninterrupted care as an outpatient department of the hospital, Podley said, adding, “We are also very happy to welcome these wonderful employees to our LAMC team.” The center is located at 1911 Central Avenue near Aspen Copies.
Los Alamos Medical Center is a 47-bed acute care facility and health care provider for Northern New Mexico. Its medical staff includes approximately 100 active or consulting physicians and employs approximately 300 people. The Center offers complete medical, surgical, obstetric/gynecologic, pediatric, emergency and diagnostic services.
