Mercy Hospital Joplin acquired the primary care practices of Dr. Jacqueline Orender and Dr. Holly Cranston in Pittsburg, Kansas, The Joplin Globe reports.
The acquisitions are part of an effort to expand access to care in Southeast Kansas.
Both clinics will remain in their existing locations, and all providers and staff have been offered the opportunity to join Mercy.
