Our Lady of the Lake Physician Group Capital Heights has closed its Government Street clinic and merged the practices with the Picardy clinic after low demand for services.
Hospital officials decided the close the Mid City clinic “several months ago” after reviewing patient volume, according to a Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System statement. A sign on the door of the former Capital Heights clinic states that the provider has moved to Our Lady of the Lake Physician Group Picardy and is accepting new patients.
“Patients previously seen at Capital Heights have access to other Our Lady of the Lake clinics in the area, as well as several urgent care locations located within five miles or less,” the statement said.
The 4,000 square foot property was listed earlier this month for lease.
The clinic opened in 2020 to provide primary care in Mid City. Our Lady of the Lake Physician Group Internal Medicine at Picardy opened in 2017 to expand primary care access in the greater Baton Rouge area.
Our Lady of the Lake also has a clinic at Independence Park. Patient Plus and LSU Health have urgent care clinics in Mid City.
