Ochsner Health announced it has acquired Diamondhead Urgent Care, an urgent care center in Diamondhead, Mississippi, giving the hospital system a bigger footprint in Hancock County.
The existing employees and physicians will continue to provide healthcare at this facility, while additional staff will be added as the patient load increases. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Ochsner Health is an integrated healthcare system that has more than 34,000 employees and more than 4,500 employed and affiliated physicians in more than 90 medical specialties and subspecialties. It operates 40 hospitals and more than 300 health and urgent care centers across Louisiana, Mississippi and the Gulf South.
According to the LevinPro HC database, this marks the 23rd urgent care acquisition of 2022, as well as the 101st transaction involving a health system as the acquirer. This deal also is Ochsner Health’s third acquisition of the year. The company previously acquired Jennings American Legion Hospital in April 2022, followed by Impact Network in November 2022.
