Is anyone else hearing doctors are moving away since Ascension took over?
Some of my doctors have done this.

Yes, and the claim is that it's management at the hospital which isn't entirely true.

A very popular cardiac doctor recently moved, they moved because they had previously vacationed here. After moving here they realized vacation and living are two different experiences. They kept their vacation home and moved on.

My bad. That was a poorly formed question.
I meant to ask has anyone had doctors move away from Sacred Heart and established their own independent offices?

They've always had non competes so I don't think so.

Apparently Ascension is a mess of a corporation and losing doctors.

In the last year I have lost every doctor I have had...the problem now is trying to find new ones. I have now picked up a couple of doctors in Ft Walton but it is still difficult to find the other ones I need and have been going to nurse practioners only to see them once and then finding out they have also moved on. Ascension needs to get their act together.
