Ascension Via Christi to close Fort Scott clinic

One area community is losing one of its primary medical clinics.

Ascension Via Christi will be closing its Family Medicine clinic in Fort Scott as of Nov. 11.

On the heels of that closing, Girard Medical Center is planning to reopen its practice in Ascension Via Christi clinic’s current location at 109 S. Main St.

To receive care at the Fort Scott clinic after Nov. 11, patients will need to call 620-232-0453 to request a
transfer of their medical records.

The Fort Scott Ascension Via Christi Emergency Department, established almost four years ago when the
Fort Scott hospital closed, will continue to provide 24/7 Emergency Care.
